Country's foreign exchange reserves dropped by $2.063 billion to $ 335.729 billion in the week to March 13, due to fall in foreign currency assets (FCAs).

The FCAs, expressed in dollar terms, include the effect of appreciation and depreciation of non-US currencies such as the euro, pound and yen, held in the reserves.

The country's gold reserves remained unchanged at $19.837 billion for the reporting week.

The special drawing rights decreased by $60.8 million to $3.960 billion, and the nation's reserve position with the International Monetary Fund also dipped by $27.1 million to $ 1.585 billion during the reporting week, the data showed.
