India Faces Ongoing External Pressures Despite Forex Swap Inflows, Says Chief Economic Advisor
India's Chief Economic Advisor V Anantha Nageswaran stated that despite significant foreign currency inflows through the Reserve Bank of India's special forex swap window, external balance of payments pressures are expected to continue. The concessional swap facility has provided short-term relief, but rising imports, higher global interest rates, and increased competition for foreign capital may strain the external account. Inflows through this facility have exceeded $143.5 billion as of mid-September, potentially enabling a balance of payments surplus this financial year compared to last year's deficit.
