RBI forex inflows ease near-term BoP pressure, challenges persist: CEA
India's Chief Economic Adviser (CEA) says the government and RBI's steps this year have brought in foreign exchange and eased near-term balance of payments pressure, giving breathing room. But he warns rising imports, commodity dependence, higher global interest rates and competition for capital will keep pressure on India's external account. Businesses dealing with imports and foreign currency payments should keep watching this.
