According to RBI, India’s forex reserves rose to which record high?

  • A.USD 372.73 billion
  • B.USD 373.73 billion
  • C.USD 374.73 billion
  • D.USD 375.73 billion

Answer: A

Correct answer: USD 372.73 billion

Foreign exchange reserves of USD 372.73 billion were a record at the time, built up through the RBI's purchases of foreign currency in a period of strong capital inflows.

Reserves serve as a buffer against external shocks and give the RBI the means to smooth disorderly movements in the rupee. Accumulating them has a domestic consequence, though: buying foreign currency injects rupees into the system, so the RBI sterilises the effect through open market sales of government securities.
