Financial Stability and Inclusion
The data incorporate the impact of a non‑bank merger with a bank effective 1 July 2023, affecting aggregate balances. Additionally, the Banking Laws (Amendment) Act, 2025, redefines the fortnightly reporting period to the 15th and last calendar day of each month, effective 15 December 2025, which underlies the fortnightly variations presented.
Regulatory and Policy Measures
No new regulatory directives are announced in this bulletin; the release primarily provides statistical updates under existing RBI frameworks.
Overall, the RBI’s weekly statistical supplement indicates modest growth in money supply and bank credit, a slight contraction in foreign reserves, and active liquidity absorption through MSF, SDF and LAF operations during the week of 8‑14 June 2026.
