Latest News About Foreign Exchange Reserves

Here are the latest notable developments on foreign exchange reserves:

• India’s forex reserves remained above the USD 700 billion mark in recent weeks, supported by gold revaluation and occasional gains in foreign currency assets. RBI data show weeks where total reserves hovered around USD 700+ billion, with modest weekly increases driven by gold and SDR movements.[1][2]

• The IMF’s COFER data for 2024Q3 indicates global FX reserves rose to about USD 12.73 trillion, with shifts tied to currency valuations of reserve currencies relative to the dollar. This points to a broader trend of reserve composition changes rather than uniform size changes across countries.[3]

• In late 2024 and early 2025, several major central banks reported sizable one-off boosts to their reserve totals via revaluations, currency swaps, or gold purchases, contributing to the global reserve pool’s higher end of the range. India’s RBI and others highlighted these factors in weekly updates (e.g., USD swaps and gold gains).[5]

• Trading Economics and related outlets continued to report ongoing coverage of FX reserves, noting that weekly changes are often driven by market moves in currency valuations and central bank asset revaluations, rather than only net capital flows.[6]
