India's Forex Reserves Reach Record $785.7 Billion with Largest Weekly Gain
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 primarily by strong foreign currency asset inflows, especially from non-resident Indian deposits under RBI's concessional swap schemes launched in June. Gold reserves declined slightly, while Special Drawing Rights and IMF reserve positions saw minor changes. The surge has positioned India as the fourth-largest holder of forex reserves globally, reflecting improved external buffers and market sentiment.
