Country’s external liability increased by 17.2% to $305.9 billion in 2010-11

01 Jul 2011 Evaluate
India’s external debt increased by 17.2% because of increase in overseas corporate borrowing, multilateral borrowing and short-term debt, as a result of which it increased to $305.9 billion in 2010-11. During 2009-10, India’s external borrowing was at $261 billion.

As per the statement released by the Reserve Bank of India, the corporate overseas borrowings rose as much as 28.9% and short-term borrowings increased by 21.2%. It was followed by NRI deposits which rose by 16.9% at $51.6 billion while multilateral debt increased by 15.8% at $ 48.4 billion. The rise in NRI deposits was largely on account of increase in NRO deposits and FCNR (B) deposits and partly due to valuation effects, RBI’s statement said. Although, the debt service ratio reduced to 4.2% in 2010-11 from 5.5% in 2009-10. Of the overall external, the long term external debt stood at $240.9 billion whereas short-term external debt at $65 billion.

The Apex bank said, the valuation effect reflecting the depreciation of the US dollar against other major global currencies and Indian rupee resulted in an increase in India's external debt by $6.5 billion during 2010-11. This implies that excluding the valuation effects, the stock of external debt as at end-March 2011 would have increased by $38.4 billion over the level at end-March 2010, RBI added.
