Mumbai. A good news has come on the country's economy front. India's foreign exchange reserves increased by $140 million to reach a new high of $642.631 billion in the week ending March 22. Reserve Bank of India gave this information. This is the fifth consecutive week when foreign exchange reserves have increased.

In September, 2021, the country's foreign exchange reserves had reached a high of $ 642.45 billion. But, amid the pressures arising from global activities, the central bank used capital reserves to arrest the fall of the rupee, which led to a slight decline in the currency reserves.
According to Reserve Bank data, in the week ending March 15, foreign currency assets, considered an important part of the currency reserves, declined by $ 123 million to $ 568.38 billion. Foreign currency assets quoted in dollar terms include the impact of movements in non-US currencies such as the euro, pound and yen held in foreign exchange reserves.
