๐ฎ๐ณ What does the RBI keep to keep the rupee stable and under control?
To maintain the stability and value of the Indian Rupee, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) keeps several important assets and uses some key tools. These help the RBI control how much money circulates in the economy and keep the rupee strong.

1. Foreign Exchange Reserves
RBI holds large amounts of foreign currencies such as:
