In a recent development, India’s foreign exchange reserves experienced a significant decline of $6.1 billion during the week ended 19 May’23,resulting in a total reserve value of $593.48 billion, according to Reserve Bank of India data updated on Friday. The drop in the kitty has snapped two consecutive weeks of increases.In the previous reporting week the overall reserves had increased by $3.5 billion to take the overall quantum just shy of $600 billion, according to sources.

In October 2021,the forex kitty had reached an all time high of $645 dollar, according to official report.The dip in India’s foreign exchange reserves can be attributed to various factors. One significant factor is the recent appreciation of the U.S. dollar against other major currencies. Since India holds a significant portion of its reserves in U.S. dollars, any depreciation of other currencies against the dollar can lead to a reduction in the total value of reserves when denominated in U.S. dollars.

Moreover,this decline raises concerns among economists and policymakers as India’s foreign exchange reserves play a crucial role in maintaining the stability of the economy and ensuring sufficient liquidity.

Additionally, the current account deficit, which reflects the difference between a country’s exports and imports, has widened in recent months. A higher current account deficit implies increased outflows of foreign currency, thus putting downward pressure on the foreign exchange reserves.
