India’s Forex Reserves rebound after 8 weeks of decline amid global uncertainty
Live MintIndia's foreign exchange reserves have seen a resurgence after an eight-week decline that pushed them to multi-month lows. According to data released by the Reserve Bank of India earlier this week, reserves increased by USD 1.51 billion, reaching USD 658.091 billion for the week ending November 29. This recovery follows a sustained dip from September's all-time high of USD 704.89 billion, largely attributed to the RBI's intervention in currency markets to curb excessive volatility and prevent sharp depreciation of the Rupee. India's Current Reserve Composition The latest figures reveal that foreign currency assets, the largest segment of India's forex reserves, stood at USD 568.852 billion. RBI's Role in Forex Stability The RBI has long adhered to a policy of strategic intervention in forex markets, focusing on preventing excessive fluctuations rather than maintaining a fixed exchange rate target.
