Forex Reserves Decline To USD 681.61 Billion In Week Ended June 5: RBI Data

New Delhi, Jun 13 (KNN) India's foreign exchange reserves declined by USD 711 million to USD 681.61 billion during the week ended June 5, 2026, mainly due to a fall in foreign currency assets, according to data released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Friday.

Forex Reserves Decline After Previous Week’s Gain 

The country's forex reserves had increased by USD 938 million to USD 682.32 billion in the previous reporting week, reported PTI.

Foreign currency assets (FCAs), the largest component of the reserves, fell by USD 2.70 billion to USD 543.44 billion during the week under review. FCAs reflect the impact of fluctuations in non-US currencies such as the euro, pound sterling, and Japanese yen held in the reserves.

Meanwhile, gold reserves rose by USD 1.98 billion to USD 114.58 billion, partially offsetting the decline in foreign currency assets.

SDRs And IMF Position Show Marginal Movement 

The RBI data also showed that Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) increased by USD 18 million to USD 18.77 billion.

India's reserve position with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) stood at USD 4.83 billion during the reporting week.
