India's Forex Reserves Increase by USD 9.9 Billion to USD 716.9 Billion
India's foreign exchange reserves rose by USD 9.905 billion to USD 716.907 billion in the week ended August 14, according to Reserve Bank of India data. This increase follows a USD 14.136 billion rise the previous week and brings reserves closer to the record high of USD 728.494 billion reached in February. The growth was driven mainly by higher foreign currency assets and gold reserves, supported by inflows from the RBI's FCNR(B) deposit scheme and other government measures to attract forex flows.
