Foreign exchange reserves composition shifts as gold holdings rise and foreign currency assets decline in weekly RBI data. India's foreign exchange reserves were reported to have risen during the week ended 19 June 2026, with the overall reserve position increasing despite a decline in foreign currency assets. The movement was driven by a substantial increase in gold reserves, offsetting the fall in foreign currency assets, while Special Drawing Rights and the reserve position with the IMF showed marginal declines. The reporting also noted that foreign currency asset values are influenced by changes in non-US currencies held in reserves.
