Central Bank of India Raises $250 Million Under RBI's FCNR-B Window, Targets $400 Million
Central Bank of India has mobilized USD 250 million under the Reserve Bank of India's FCNR-B window, surpassing its July target of USD 100 million and aiming for USD 400 million by September. This special swap window, introduced in June, encourages foreign currency deposits by covering currency hedging costs. Alongside Indian Bank, which has raised USD 1.2 billion, these public sector banks are benefiting from RBI's measures to boost foreign capital inflows and strengthen India's external position through zero-cost hedging facilities.
