NEW DELHI – The Reserve Bank of India net sold $7.91 billion worth of dollars in the foreign exchange market in September, higher than $7.70 billion net sold a month ago, according to data released by the central bank Monday. The central bank net sold dollars in the foreign exchange market for the fourth consecutive month in September. The RBI had bought dollars worth $9.64 billion on a net basis in September last year.
On a gross basis, the central bank bought $2.20 billion in September and sold $10.11 billion. In August, the RBI did not purchase dollars in the currency market and sold $7.70 billion on a gross basis. The central bank says it buys and sells dollars in the foreign exchange market to curb excess volatility.
In September, the Indian currency depreciated 0.7% against the dollar, a similar amount of depreciation as August. The RBI bought and sold $1.31 billion each on a gross basis in the currency futures market, which resulted in net position of nil, the same as the previous month. The RBI's net outstanding sales in the futures segment at the end of September was $1.61 billion, against outstanding sales of $450 million in the previous month.
The central bank's net outstanding forward dollar sales rose to $59.41 billion at the end of September from $53.36 billion in August. End
