India's Forex Reserves Rise Nearly USD 10 Billion to USD 716.9 Billion in August
India's foreign exchange reserves rose by USD 9.905 billion to USD 716.907 billion in the week ended August 14, nearing the record high of USD 728.494 billion reached in February. The increase was driven by a USD 7.225 billion rise in foreign currency assets and a USD 2.679 billion gain in gold reserves. Inflows under the Reserve Bank of India's FCNR(B) deposit scheme and other concessional swap measures contributed significantly to the growth, with total reserves increasing by nearly USD 50 billion since late June.
