India's Forex Reserve Grows By $1.3 Billion

The country's forex reserves are calculated as a combination of Foreign Currency Assets (FCAs), gold reserves, Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) and India's reserve position with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

 

On a week-to-week growth basis, FCAs, the largest component of the forex reserves, increased higher by $1.358 billion to $392.227 billion.

Besides the US dollar, FCAs make for 20-30 percent of the other major global currencies.

The RBI's weekly data showed that the value of the country's gold reserves remained stagnant at $23.021 billion. The SDR value, however, inched higher by $3 million to $1.454 billion, and the country's reserve position with the IMF inched up by $7 million to $3.351 billion.
