India's Forex Reserves Rise Near Three-Month High Supported by RBI's FCNR Scheme
India's foreign exchange reserves rose to a near three-month high of $692.9 billion as of July 31, driven largely by strong inflows under the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) Foreign Currency Non-Resident (FCNR) deposit scheme. The RBI has no plans to end this scheme early, expecting continued robust capital inflows that support the rupee and strengthen the balance of payments. The central bank maintains that reserves remain adequate, providing over 10 months of import cover amid global economic uncertainties.
