India's forex reserves rose by $58 billion cumulatively in 2023

India's foreign exchange reserves reached a 21-month high of $620.441 billion in the week ending December 22, 2023, with the Reserve Bank of India adding about $58 billion to its foreign exchange kitty in 2023. The country's foreign currency assets rose to $549.747 billion, while gold reserves declined to $474.74 billion. The decline in forex reserves since October 2021 can be attributed to a rise in imported goods' cost in 2022 and RBI's intervention to defend the rupee against the US dollar's surge.
