Forex reserves cross $78 billion

May 17, 2003 19:36 IST

India's foreign exchange reserves continued to scale new heights and crossed the $78-billion mark following record inflows during the week ending May 9.

Foreign exchange reserves rose sharply by $961 million to touch $78.559 billion in the reporting week, according to Reserve Bank of India's weekly statistical supplement released in Mumbai on Saturday.

Foreign currency assets also rose sharply by $959 million at $75.164 billion, it added.

The rise is mainly due to fresh inflows and revaluation of non-US currencies, including the euro, against the US dollar, analysts said.

RBI said gold reserves remained static at $3.368 billion.

The loans and advances to the central government declined by Rs 6,759 crore (Rs 67.59 billion) at Rs 8,393 crore (Rs 83.93 billion).
