Method and definitions

  • Gross reserves are the central bank's official reserve assets, published in two items, foreign currency and gold, as of each Friday in USD million and shown here in billions.
  • The dollar value of gold moves with the gold price and that of foreign currency with cross rates, so a weekly change is not only purchases or sales.
  • Net reserves and net reserves excluding swaps are not published in this table; the page shows the gross figures the central bank publishes.
