PrintListen to this Article
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has set a limit of $10 million on banks' proprietary positions in exchange-traded currency futures and also allowed foreign portfolio investors to hedge their currency risk without any underlying up to the same limit, the apex bank said in separate releases on Friday.
In July last year, at the peak of the rupee crisis, the RBI had barred all banks from taking any proprietary positions in the currency futures market.
"An FPI (foreign portfolio investor) cannot take a short position beyond $10 million at any time and to take a long position beyond $10 million in any exchange, it will be required to have an underlying exposure," the release said.
