RBI said to be seeking approval for overseas rupee lending to neighbours

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is seeking government approval to allow domestic banks to lend rupees to overseas borrowers, initially focusing on neighboring countries like Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. This initiative aims to promote the rupee's use in international trade, reduce reliance on currency swap arrangements, and facilitate easier trade settlements while mitigating foreign exchange volatility.
