What the numbers say

Short term

The latest readings
  • The latest figure is −MVR 32.8 billion for Aug 2026, down MVR 870.3 million from Jul 2026 and down MVR 4.59 billion on the same month a year earlier.
  • The change on a year earlier averaged −MVR 3.95 billion over the last three months, against −MVR 2.75 billion in the three months before: the year-on-year decline has deepened.
  • That annual change is unusual by the standard of the past ten years: 5.1 standard deviations below the average.

Long term

The record as a whole
  • It has averaged −MVR 25.81 billion over the past five years and −MVR 21.28 billion over ten; the latest figure is MVR 6.99 billion below the five-year average.

How to read this series

Sources of money. The other side of the banking system’s balance sheet: what broad money is backed by. Net foreign assets are foreign-currency holdings less foreign liabilities; net domestic assets are mainly lending to the government and to the private sector. Rising claims on government mean the banking system is financing more of the deficit.

  • Shown in current prices (nominal). Part of any long-run rise reflects inflation rather than a larger real amount.
  • A stock: it is the amount outstanding at the end of each month, not activity during it, so periods are never added together.
  • This series takes negative values (a deficit or a net outflow), so changes are given as amounts; a percentage change from a negative base has no meaning.
  • Recent periods are often revised as fuller data arrive. The version comparison below shows what MMA has changed since this site began keeping copies.

Terms such as percentage points, flows and stocks, and trend growth are explained in How to read the tracker.
