RBI's Special Measures Attract Nearly $32 Billion in Foreign Capital, FCNR(B) Deposits Surpass 2013 Record
Since June, the Reserve Bank of India's special measures have attracted nearly $32 billion in foreign capital, primarily through Foreign Currency Non-Resident (Bank) or FCNR(B) deposits. These inflows have surpassed the 2013 record within about 45 days, with SBI Research projecting total FCNR(B) deposits could reach $65-70 billion by September, and overall inflows including other instruments up to $80-85 billion. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra emphasized the inflows strengthen India's external position amid global volatility, while monitoring for deposit rollovers. The FCNR(B) window remains open until September 30, supporting currency stability and balance of payments.
