Mumbai, Feb 24: India's foreign exchange (Forex) reserves marginally fell by 56.8 million as on February 17, 2017 official data showed on Friday. According to the RBI's weekly statistical supplement, the overall Forex reserves decreased to $362.72 billion from $362.78 billion for the week ended February 10.
Segment-wise, the Foreign Currency Assets (FCAs) — the largest component of the Forex reserves inched lower by $59.1 million to $339.71 billion during the week under review.
