As RBI’s concessional swap window draws to a close this month end, State Bank of India (SBI) Chairman C S Setty has expressed confidence that the bank would garner about USD 10 billion from non-resident Indians and foreign investors.

ECB, of course, will have a longer period available to us, but by August 31, we should have mobilised around USD 9-10 billion on a consolidated basis,” he told PTI in an interview.
Earlier this month, the Reserve Bank of India advanced the closure of the Foreign Currency Non-Resident Bank (FCNR-B) deposits swap window by a month to August 31 as against the earlier cut-off date of September 30.
