Currency swap agreement between India and Japan

by Jo Black

Indian federal government gave its approval for authorizing the Reserve Bank of India to sign the proposed Currency Swap Agreement with the Bank of Japan to exchange an amount of US $ 3 billion against the respective domestic currency for mitigating short term Balance of Payment (BOP) problem.

The actual draw down will be effected by RBI when the Government judges that it should be drawn down, after consulting RBI.

It is an additional arrangement outside IMF to meet for short term liquidity in US $ during a Balance of Payment crisis.

It is a cost effective tool of achieving the strategic objective of demonstrating regional cooperation.
