RBI’s Net-Short Dollar Book Hits Record $115 Billion Defending Rupee

2 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 8

$110 billion-$115 billion: the Reserve Bank of India’s net-short dollar book has climbed to a fresh record in recent weeks, reflecting heavier forward dollar sales to support the rupee.
That position spans onshore and offshore markets and measures how far the RBI has sold forward from its dollar reserves as pressure on the currency persisted.
$95.3 billion in April had already marked a pullback from the previous record of $103.1 billion in March, making the latest jump a sharp reversal in the RBI’s intervention stance.
