What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

The Reserve Bank of India purchased a record $18.65 billion in dollars in July, driven largely by inflows through its concessional swap facility. Deputy Governor Poonam Gupta stated that the rupee's depreciation is a temporary phenomenon and expects the currency to stabilize and potentially appreciate as India's balance of payments improves.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The central bank's record dollar purchases were fueled by FCNR(B) deposits and other borrowings. Despite the central bank's commitment to orderly conditions, the rupee faces headwinds from rising oil prices and a firmer dollar due to growing US rate hike expectations.
