Forex reserves cross $75 billion

February 22, 2003 14:08 IST

India's foreign exchange reserves continued to rise for the 18th straight week to cross the $75 billion mark.

The foreign exchange reserves during the week ending February 14 rose by $616 million mainly due to foreign investments and export remittances at $75,283 million, according to Reserve Bank of India's weekly statistical supplement released in Mumbai on Saturday.

The foreign currency assets increased by $614 million at $71,586 million in the week under review, RBI said.

FCA expressed in dollar terms include the effects of appreciation/depreciation of non-US currencies like the euro, sterling, yen and others held in reserves, the apex bank said.  

RBI said gold reserves remained static at $3,688 million while special drawing rights rose by $2 million to $9 million, the apex bank said.

Loans to state governments declined by Rs 243 crore (Rs 2.43 billion) at Rs 5,322 crore (Rs 53.22 billion) while that to the Centre maintained a nil balance.
