Key Features of India’s IIP in June 2020

The decline of US$ 29.7 billion in net claims during Q1:2020-21 was mainly due to an increase of US$ 27.9 billion in reserve assets.
Among the constituents of foreign-owned assets, loans, foreign direct investment (FDI) and currency and deposits increased, whereas portfolio investment declined during the quarter.
Reserve assets continued to have the dominant share in India’s international assets (Table 2).
