RBI and Government Announce Measures to Attract Foreign Capital and Support Rupee
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and government have introduced multiple measures to attract foreign capital, stabilize the rupee, and support the bond market. These include tax exemptions on foreign investments in government securities, incentives for Foreign Currency Non-Resident (FCNR) deposits, and facilitation of External Commercial Borrowings (ECB). The RBI has also increased its net-short dollar book to curb rupee volatility. Experts and institutions estimate these steps could bring $35-50 billion in inflows, strengthening foreign exchange reserves and external sector stability amid global uncertainties.
