India's Forex Reserves Decline by $5.6 Billion
Imagine a country's savings account for international money and assets; that's its foreign exchange reserve.
For the week ending October 31, India's savings account decreased by about $5.6 billion, bringing the total to just under $690 billion.
This drop happened mainly because the value of foreign currencies like the Euro and Pound held by India went down, and the value of the gold the country owns also decreased.
However, India's ability to borrow from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) actually increased a little, which helped lessen the overall drop.
The Reserve Bank of India releases this information weekly.
India's forex reserves decreased by $5.623 billion to $689.733 billion for the week ended October 31.
Foreign currency assets, a major part of the reserves, dropped by $1.957 billion to $564.591 billion.
The value of gold reserves saw a significant decline of $3.81 billion, reaching $101.726 billion.
Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) decreased by $19 million to $18.644 billion.
India's reserve position with the IMF increased by $164 million to $4.772 billion during the same week.
