NEW DELHI – Net claims of non-residents on India fell $38.4 billion during the quarter ended September to $274.3 billion, data from the Reserve Bank of India Wednesday showed. The decline in net claims during the quarter was because of a decrease in foreign-owned assets in India and an increase in Indian residents' overseas financial assets, the central bank said.
The ratio of India's international assets to international liabilities improved to 81.3% as of the end of September from 79.1% a quarter ago. The ratio has improved from 71.4% two years ago and 76.1% a year ago, the RBI said.
Foreign-owned assets in India fell because of a broad-based decline, including inward portfolio investment and direct investment. "Indian residents' overseas financial assets increased during the quarter, mainly on the back of higher outward direct investments," the RBI said.
Reserve assets stood at $700.1 billion as of the end of September and accounted for 58.8% of overseas financial assets of Indian residents. The share of debt liabilities in total external liabilities increased marginally to 55.0% as of the end of September from 54.3% a quarter ago. End
