RBI and Government Measures May Shift India's Balance of Payments to Surplus
India's balance of payments (BoP) may shift to a small surplus after consecutive deficits due to recent measures by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the government. These include the RBI covering hedging costs for foreign currency deposits, concessional foreign exchange swap facilities for public sector borrowings, and expanded access for foreign investments in government securities. These steps aim to attract significant capital inflows, ease pressure on the rupee, and strengthen India's external financial position over the coming months.
