SEPT 16: The foreign exchange reserves of the country declined sharply by US $264 million to US $35,355 million during the week ended September 8, 2000, as compared to the previous week.

The decline was solely due to the fall of US $264 million in the foreign currency assets (FCA) to US $ 32,523 million for the week ended September 8, 2000, according to Reserve Bank of India’s weekly statistical supplement issued here today.

Gold and special drawing rights remained static at US $2,830 million and US $ two million respectively for the reported week as compared to the previous week, it said.
