Understanding Foreign Exchange Reserves — a simple guide
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.
Reserves of $700 billion can pay for many months of imports.
Large reserves give a cushion against currency shocks.
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.
