RBI Deputy Governor Confident Remittances Will Remain Stable Amid West Asia Conflict

Reserve Bank of India Deputy Governor Poonam Gupta expressed confidence that remittances to India will remain stable despite the West Asia conflict. She noted that the share of migrants in West Asia has declined to around 40%, with a diversified migrant workforce across sectors like IT, hospitality, and health. March remittance figures were reportedly better than before, possibly due to returning migrants' savings. Gupta highlighted India's strong balance of payments supported by remittances, services exports, and FDI inflows, while acknowledging weaker portfolio flows.
