Malavika Kaur Makol报道称,印度外汇储备降幅创历史纪录,因为印度央行支撑卢比的做法消耗了储备。
India’s foreign exchange reserves dropped the most on record as the central bank’s support for the rupee weighed on the stockpile.
9月25日当周,储备减少183.4亿美元,降至7475.6亿美元;周五公布的数据显示,这是有记录以来最大的单周降幅,彭博汇总的数据亦证实了这一点。
Reserves fell $18.34 billion to $747.56 billion in the week of Sept. 25, data released on Friday showed. This is the biggest fall in a week on record, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
为提振卢比,印度央行一直在外汇市场卖出美元,同时进行卖买掉期交易,使储备受到消耗。
The central bank has sold dollars to shore up the rupee, while also conducting sell-buy swaps in the foreign-exchange market, depleting reserves.
此类掉期通常由印度央行向银行卖出美元并收取卢比,同时约定日后买回美元。本周金价也下跌,导致部分储备被重新估值。
The swaps usually involve the RBI selling dollars to banks for rupees, and agreeing to buy the US currency back later. Gold prices also fell during the week, leading to some revaluation.
