Advantages
 Forex serves is in meeting the international finance obligations including sovereign
and commercial debts, financing of imports.
 It helps in boosting the confidence of the market in the ability of a country to meet
its external obligations.
 It acts as cushion for unforeseen external shocks. It was due the adequate forex
reserve level that India was able to bear the global meltdown of 2008.
 Increases confidence of foreign investors and thus helps in boosting foreign direct
investment (FDI).
 RBI uses the forex reserves to adjust foreign exchange rate. In case of sharp fall in
the foreign exchange value of the Rupee, RBI sells the Dollar which appreciates the
Rupee.
 The foreign currency assets are invested mainly in instruments abroad which have
the highest credit rating and which do not pose any credit risk. These include
sovereign bonds, treasury bills and short-term deposits in top-rated global banks
besides cash accounts.

monetary regulators to control money supply and its effects.

in waste of funds.
