thebalanced.newsRBI Announces USD 5 Billion USD-INR Swap Auction to Inject Liquidity on May 26
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will conduct a USD 5 billion USD-INR buy-sell swap auction on May 26 to inject long-term liquidity into the banking system amid tight liquidity and rupee depreciation. The three-year tenor swap involves banks selling dollars to the RBI and agreeing to repurchase them later, providing immediate rupee liquidity without permanently altering forex reserves. This move aims to ease liquidity pressures, stabilize the rupee amid global uncertainties, and bolster foreign exchange reserves through a multiple price-based auction.
