Forex reserves soar to $707 billion, highest so far in current fiscal
India's foreign exchange reserves surged by $14.1 billion to reach $707 billion, the highest level in the current fiscal year. The increase was driven by a $9.9 billion rise in foreign currency assets and a $3.9 billion gain in gold reserves. Despite this growth, reserves remain below the all-time peak of $728 billion. The RBI received $56.8 billion in foreign currency inflows, with further inflows expected from FCNR(B) and ECB schemes until August 31, indicating strong external sector resilience.
