Datanomics: Dollar inflows through swap windows far exceed 2013 levels
The RBI has stepped in to cap dollar inflows that have already crossed the $26 billion seen in 2013. Back then, a swap scheme under RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan drew that amount.

Watch for any impact on your foreign exchange deals.
