Bilateral agreement between Japan and India: arrangement to swap currency

Japan and India renewed the Bilateral Swap Arrangement (BSA) effective from February 28, 2025. The BSA is a two-way arrangement where both authorities can swap their local currencies in exchange for the US Dollar. The size of the BSA remains unchanged, that is, up to 75 billion US Dollars.

Japan and India believe that the BSA, which aims to strengthen and complement other financial safety nets, will further deepen financial cooperation between the two countries and contribute to regional and global financial stability.
