FCNR(B) deposits: Who bears the currency risk? | Explained
AI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Foreign Currency Non-Resident bank deposits involve a currency risk division where the Reserve Bank of India's swap protects banks from principal fluctuations. However, institutions remain responsible for managing dollar interest payments independently. This structure means banks could face financial exposure if the local currency depreciates against the dollar.
