Forex reserves cross $106 b mark

MUMBAI, FEB. 14. India's foreign exchange reserves surged further by $1.609 billion to cross the $106 billion mark for the week ended February 6. Foreign exchange reserves swelled up by $1.609 billion to $106.607 billion in the period under review, according to the Reserve Bank of India's weekly statistical supplement released here today. Foreign currency assets also saw an increase of $1.535 billion to touch $102.315 billion, it said.

Forex market sources said the reserves have gone up due to fresh inflows and revaluation of the U.S. dollar vis-a-vis other currencies.

The RBI said gold reserves grew by $74 million to $4.289 billion while special drawing rights remained static at $3 million respectively.

India's Reserve Tranche Position (RTP) with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) rose by $5 million to $1.317 billion, the central bank said.
