Pourquoi c’est important
Reserves are the war chest a central bank uses to defend its currency. Falling reserves can mean the bank is selling foreign currency to support the South African rand; rising reserves can mean it is buying to hold it down. For pegged and emerging-market currencies they are a key measure of resilience.
Mode de calcul
The central bank values its holdings at market prices and exchange rates at the end of the period; changes therefore include valuation effects as well as purchases and sales.
Ce que signifient les variations
- A large unexpected drop may signal intervention to support the currency.
- A rise driven only by a weaker dollar (valuation) says little about policy.
- Compare with months of imports covered: three months is a common minimum for emerging markets.
Un bref historique
The modern reserve system grew out of Bretton Woods (1944); after the Asian crisis of 1997–98 many emerging economies built large reserves to avoid running out of foreign currency again.
