Country comparison
FX Reserves by Country
FX reserves cover the foreign-currency-denominated component of total international reserves — typically USD, EUR, JPY, GBP and CNY assets held by the central bank. They exclude gold and IMF SDR positions.
Why compare FX Reserves across countries?
FX reserves are the main ammunition for currency-defence operations. Sharp drops can signal active intervention to support the home currency; rebuilds typically follow periods of capital inflow or post-intervention. The data are watched closely after any sharp FX move.
How to read the country list
Read month-over-month change rather than the absolute level (which is dominated by valuation effects). Cross-reference with FX moves over the same period to corroborate intervention signals.
