Statistics

International reserves and foreign currency liquidity

Within the balance of payments and the international investment position, international reserves are merely another functional category, so that their transactions and positions data can be consulted within the information offered by these statistics. However, following international standards, and specifically under the SDDS+ (Special Data Dissemination Standard Plus) agreements, the Banco de España also publishes information on international reserves positions as a separate monthly statistic, with a very short lag relative to that of the international investment position.

In addition, more complete information on reserves and foreign currency liquidity is also published monthly under the SDDS+, with the details established by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). These details include the foreign currency positions of the Banco de España and central government, as well as information on predetermined or contingent future drains on foreign currency liquidity.
