India's Forex Reserves Reach Record $785.7 Billion, Surpassing Russia to Rank Fourth
India's foreign exchange reserves reached a record $785.7 billion in the week ended September 4, marking the largest weekly increase of $44.9 billion. This growth was driven mainly by a $47.5 billion rise in foreign currency assets, supported by RBI's concessional swap schemes attracting significant inflows, especially from non-resident Indian deposits. Gold reserves declined slightly, while special drawing rights and IMF reserve positions saw minor changes. The surge propelled India to become the world's fourth-largest forex reserve holder, surpassing Russia.
