RBI Measures Spur FCNR(B) Deposit Recovery Amid NRI Inflow Decline
NRI deposit inflows into India declined by 29.25% to $1.33 billion during April-May FY27, driven by weaker inflows into NRE and FCNR(B) accounts, according to RBI data. Despite this, FCNR(B) deposits have recently surged to $17 billion in 40 days following RBI's introduction of a Swap Facility and removal of interest rate caps to attract foreign currency inflows. This strategy aims to stabilize the rupee and strengthen forex reserves amid volatile global conditions, with total outstanding NRI deposits remaining steady around $166 billion.
