India's Forex Reserves Reach Record $785.7 Billion, Fourth Largest Globally
India's foreign exchange reserves reached a record high of $785.7 billion in the week ended September 4, making it the world's fourth-largest holder. This surge, driven by a $44.9 billion weekly increase and strong inflows under the Reserve Bank of India's FCNR(B) deposits scheme, surpassed Russia's reserves. Despite a decline in gold reserves, the robust forex position strengthens India's economic fundamentals and enables the RBI to stabilize the rupee amid market volatility. The RBI also plans government bond sales to manage excess liquidity.
