India's Foreign Exchange Reserves Surge $14.1 Billion To $707 Billion
Foreign exchange reserves are money and valuable assets a country keeps in other countries' currencies.
India has a big savings jar like this, and it just got a lot bigger.
In one week, India's reserves jumped by more than $14 billion.
That brings the total amount to over $707 billion.
The Reserve Bank of India, which is like the country's main bank, shared this news.
Having more money in the jar gives India a stronger safety cushion.
This means India is better protected if the world economy becomes uncertain.
Global markets can be sensitive to things like oil prices, money moving between countries, and world events.
So this bigger cushion helps keep India's economy steady.

The reserves crossed the $707-billion mark, according to the latest RBI data.
The increase provides a stronger cushion for the Indian economy.
