RBI Manages Liquidity and Forex to Support Rupee Amid External Pressures
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has actively managed liquidity and foreign exchange to support the rupee amid external pressures like rising oil prices and US rate hike expectations. Surplus liquidity in the banking system reached a four-month high of around Rs 5 lakh crore, driven by government spending and foreign currency deposits under the FCNR(B) swap scheme. RBI's interventions include large-scale bond purchases, forward market activity, and reverse repo auctions to maintain financial stability and facilitate credit growth while mitigating depreciation risks on the rupee.
