The latest weekly gain is the biggest on record and takes the reserves more than USD 44 billion above the previous week&#8217;s level.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>The reserves had been under pressure earlier this year as the rupee weakened amid the conflict in West Asia, prompting the RBI to intervene in the foreign exchange market through dollar sales.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>The trend reversed after the central bank introduced concessional forex swap measures in June to boost foreign-currency inflows and strengthen liquidity in the forex market. The measures have since attracted more than USD 136 billion in new flows.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Foreign currency assets drive increase<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Foreign currency assets, the largest component of India&#8217;s forex reserves, rose by USD 47.498 billion during the week to USD 648.168 billion, RBI data showed.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Foreign currency assets are expressed in US dollar terms and include the impact of appreciation or depreciation in non-US currencies such as the euro, pound and yen held in the reserves.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>The latest jump also comes after the RBI closed its special foreign-currency deposit window a month ahead of schedule following strong mobilisation by banks. As of August 31, Foreign Currency Non-Resident (Bank), or FCNR(B), deposits had brought in USD 127.226 billion, while overseas foreign-currency borrowings and external commercial borrowings took total inflows under the measures to USD 136.377 billion.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>The FCNR(B) window, launched on June 8, was originally scheduled to remain open until September 30 but was closed on August 31 after the RBI said its objective had been achieved ahead of schedule.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Meanwhile, despite the overall increase, the value of India&#8217;s gold reserves declined by$2.594 billion during the week to $113.816 billion.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Special drawing rights (SDRs) with the IMF fell by $4 million to $18.806 billion, while India&#8217;s reserve position with the IMF increased by $2 million to $ 4.916 billion, the RBI said.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/business\/india-business\/indias-forex-reserves-surge-record-44-9-billion-to-all-time-high-of-785-7-billion\/articleshow\/134074148.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest reserve build-up comes after a sharp turnaround in foreign-currency inflows following the RBI\u2019s measures announced in June.
