India's Forex Reserves Decline by $1.27 Billion to $719.75 Billion
India's foreign exchange reserves declined by approximately USD 1.27 billion to USD 719.75 billion in the week ended October 30, continuing a downward trend since a record high of USD 785.7 billion in early September. The decrease was mainly due to a USD 2.65 billion drop in gold reserves, while foreign currency assets rose by USD 1.36 billion. Experts attribute the overall decline to the deployment of FCNR(B) resources and RBI's dollar sales to support the rupee. Special Drawing Rights increased slightly, and the IMF reserve position decreased marginally.
