India's central bank has announced new measures to reduce volatility1 in currency markets and support the weakened rupee.
印度央行宣布将采取新措施减少货币市场的波动并提升疲软的卢比。
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said it will auction2 220bn rupees ($3.6bn) of government cash management bills every Monday. It did not say how many weeks the sale would go on.
The rupee hit a record low of 61.80 against the US dollar on Tuesday.
Other measures have so-far failed to shore up the currency.
The rupee has lost more than 12% of its value since the start of the year, because of investors3 taking money out of the country, among other reasons.
On 15 July the RBI took action, including raising short-term rates to reduce cash in the financial system. It took additional steps on 23 July.
However, the rupee has continued to drop in value, raising concerns about India's economy which is growing at 5% - its slowest pace in a decade.
Economists5 said it was a good step but that reforms were needed to boost the economy.
