What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

Foreign exchange inflows through the Reserve Bank of India’s special USD-INR Forex Swap facility surpassed $136.37 billion by August 31, 2026, according to the RBI. The International Financial Services Centres Authority reported that 20 banking units in GIFT City sanctioned $54.02 billion under the swap facility for FCNR(B) deposits. Separately, the RBI introduced a concessional forex swap facility for External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs), which allows the central bank to bear a fixed swap cost of 1.5% for hedging dollar exposure.
