Currency & FXBanking & LiquidityEmerging Markets

India asked state-owned banks to intensify efforts to attract foreign-currency deposits from its 35M-strong diaspora to bolster external buffers and support the flagging rupee. The initiative signals ongoing FX weakness and liquidity/financing concerns rather than a one-off operational update. Likely modest impact, mainly via sentiment toward India’s FX stability and banking deposit flows.
