India's forex reserves have reached a record high of $704.89 billion as of September 27, marking a significant increase of $12.5 billion from the previous week.
The surge in forex reserves can be attributed to a rise in foreign currency assets, primarily due to revaluation gains and spot market dollar purchases by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
India's forex reserves include both foreign currency assets and gold reserves. The foreign currency assets increased by $10.46 billion during the period, while gold reserves increased by $2.18 billion in the previous week.
India now holds the fourth-largest forex reserves globally, following China, Japan, and Switzerland. This achievement marks a significant milestone for India's economic stability.
Strong economic growth, the inclusion of Indian assets in JPMorgans key emerging market debt index, and the RBI's efforts to prioritize the competitiveness of Indian exports have all contributed to the robust influx of foreign exchange into the Indian economy.
The RBI has intervened in the foreign exchange market through dollar purchases to avoid excess volatility. This intervention has helped maintain stability and support the rupee, which appreciated to Rs 83.44 against the greenback during the week.
Geopolitical risks could potentially reduce foreign inflows, leading to a smaller increase in forex reserves. Additionally, rising US treasury yields could result in revaluation losses for India's forex reserves.
The rupee appreciated to Rs 83.44 against the dollar during the week but settled at Rs 83.70 per dollar, depreciating by 0.15% against the dollar. The RBI's intervention in the foreign exchange market has helped mitigate volatility.
This record-breaking achievement signifies India's growing economic stability and its ability to attract significant foreign investment. It also underscores the RBI's effective management of the country's foreign exchange reserves, positioning India well for future economic challenges.
