India’s foreign exchange reserves have surged by nearly USD 10 billion in a week, moving significantly closer to the record level touched earlier this year. According to the latest data released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Friday, the country’s forex reserves rose by USD 9.905 billion to USD 716.907 billion in the week ended August 14. The latest increase comes after an even sharper rise in the preceding week.
