1. What was the record high of India’s forex reserves?
As of September 20, India’s foreign exchange reserves reached a record high of $692.3 billion, driven by market interventions by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and inflows into stocks and bonds. This reserve includes $605.7 billion in foreign currency assets, $63.6 billion in gold reserves, and $18.5 billion in Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) with the International Monetary Fund. The rise in reserves helps India maintain financial stability, manage currency volatility, and enhance investor confidence.
