India's US Treasury Purchases Reach $15.2 Billion in July Amid RBI Capital Inflows
India's net purchase of US Treasury notes surged to a record $15.2 billion in July, up from $3.39 billion in June, reaching the highest holdings in 10 months. This increase follows $40.8 billion inflows under the Reserve Bank of India's special facility launched in June to attract overseas capital through concessional swaps. These dollar inflows have boosted India's foreign-exchange reserves to an all-time high. Experts expect Treasury purchases to remain high as inflows under the RBI facility continue rising, reaching $136 billion by August.
