India's Forex Reserves Rise $11.47 Billion to Record $740.8 Billion
India's foreign exchange reserves rose by $11.475 billion to a record $740.8 billion in the week ended August 28, according to Reserve Bank of India data. This increase follows a prior weekly rise and reflects inflows after RBI's concessional forex swap initiatives launched in June amid currency depreciation. Foreign currency assets and gold reserves grew, while special drawing rights and IMF reserve positions slightly declined. The RBI continues to monitor the forex market and intervenes as needed without targeting specific exchange rates.
