The gold reserve has increased by $ 2.64 billion to reach $ 39.70 billion.

If we look at the reasons for the big increase in India's foreign exchange reserves, it is believed that RBI has made a tremendous purchase of dollars in recent times. So there has been a brake on the strength of the US dollar, in such a situation foreign exchange reserves have also increased due to the revolution gain.

Although the US Federal Reserve has been increasing interest rates to curb inflation, the dollar will continue to strengthen. Many experts believe that foreign exchange reserves may fall to $ 510 billion.
