India's Forex Reserves Fall by $2.7 Billion to $687 Billion
Imagine India keeps a special savings account with money from other countries, called foreign exchange reserves.
This account helps when India needs to buy things from other countries or pay back loans.
Recently, the amount in this savings account went down by about $2.7 billion.
This drop happened because the value of foreign money like Euros and Yen held in the account decreased, and the value of India's gold also slightly decreased.
The total amount left in this special savings account is now around $687 billion.
This is part of a trend where the amount has been going down for a few weeks.
The people who manage this savings account are from the Reserve Bank of India.
India's foreign exchange reserves decreased by $2.7 billion to $687.03 billion in the week ended November 7.
Foreign currency assets, a major part of the reserves, fell by $2.45 billion to $562.14 billion.
The value of gold reserves declined by $195 million, totaling $101.53 billion.
Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) were down by $51 million to $18.59 billion.
India's reserve position with the IMF remained unchanged at $4.77 billion.
