What it measures

Total reserves including gold held by the central bank, in current US dollars.

How it is calculated

Foreign currency, gold, IMF reserve position and SDRs held by the central bank, in US dollars.

Simple example

Reserves of $700 billion can pay for many months of imports.

▲ When it is high or rising

Large reserves give a cushion against currency shocks.

▼ When it is low or falling

Low reserves leave less room to handle sudden outflows.

Why it matters for the economy and markets

Reserves act as a buffer to defend the currency and pay for imports during external shocks.

How to read it

A common yardstick is months of import cover; 3 months or more is often considered adequate.
