India's Forex Reserves Decline After Record High Amid Currency Stabilization Efforts
India's foreign exchange reserves declined by approximately $4.9 billion to $780.78 billion in the week ended September 11, following a record high the previous week. The decrease was mainly due to drops in foreign currency assets and gold reserves, while Special Drawing Rights with the IMF saw a slight increase. Despite the weekly fall, reserves remain significantly higher year-on-year and since March. Separately, India encouraged overseas Indians to invest in foreign funds amid a weakening rupee and rising import costs, with policymakers supporting foreign currency inflows to stabilize the currency.
