RBI's Forex Swap Facility Mobilizes Over USD 40 Billion in Inflows by July 2026
The Reserve Bank of India's foreign exchange measures have attracted USD 40.81 billion in inflows as of July 31, 2026. Most funds, about USD 36.7 billion, came from Foreign Currency Non-Resident (FCNR) deposits, with additional contributions from Overseas Foreign Currency Borrowings and External Commercial Borrowings. These concessional swap facilities, introduced in June, aim to support the rupee and strengthen India's external sector. The FCNR facility is open until September, while other schemes continue through the end of the year.
