Re: Indian Economy News & Discussion - Nov 27 2017
Is India circling her wagons ... India’s central bank RBI just shifted 100Tonnes of Gold From UK to India. This is the first time since 1991 when gold at this scale has been added to stock held locally. More gold will be moving back to India in coming months, RBI says. Any guesses at “what” is happ...

No one seems to have the 53 enhancement requirements list. I have not seen any evidence that SDR was a last minute requirement. I believe that 2021 order suggests that it may always have been planned. I generally have an ick seeing conjectures stated as facts.
Happy to leave it at that.
