India’s Forex Reserves Decrease by $1.183 Billion
Imagine India has a big piggy bank filled with money it can use from other countries.
This piggy bank is called forex reserves.
Recently, the amount of money in the piggy bank went down a little bit.
The main part of the money, which is like the paper money from other countries, also went down a bit.
But, some of the money, like the gold coins in the piggy bank, went up a little.
Also, some special money from the IMF (like a global bank) went down, too.
India's forex reserves decreased by USD 1.183 billion to USD 695.489 billion.
Foreign currency assets, a major component, slipped by USD 1.201 billion.
Gold reserves increased by USD 150 million during the week.
Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) decreased by USD 119 million.
India’s reserve position with the IMF declined by USD 13 million.
