RBI's Dollar Inflow Measures Attract Nearly $32 Billion, FCNR(B) Deposits Projected to Rise
The Reserve Bank of India's recent measures to attract foreign capital have led to nearly $32 billion inflows, primarily through Foreign Currency Non-Resident (Bank) or FCNR(B) deposits, with an additional $7 billion via foreign portfolio investments in debt securities. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra emphasized these inflows strengthen India's external position amid global uncertainties and dismissed concerns about deposit recycling. SBI Research projects FCNR(B) deposits could reach $80-85 billion by scheme end, driven mainly by public sector banks and higher interest rates encouraging renewals.
