The Reserve Bank of India has released the 17th half-yearly report on management of foreign exchange reserves with reference to September 2011.

It may be recalled that in February 2004, the Reserve Bank had commenced a process of compiling half yearly reports and placing them in the public domain with a lag of about three months for bringing about more transparency and also for enhancing the level of disclosure.

The first such report for the half year ended September 30, 2003 was released on February 3, 2004.
