What the numbers say

Short term

The latest readings
  • The latest figure is US$308,886 for Sep 2026, down 0.7% from Aug 2026 and down 24.8% on the same month a year earlier.
  • The change on a year earlier averaged −22.1% over the last three months, against −16.9% in the three months before: the year-on-year decline has deepened.

Long term

The record as a whole
  • Trend growth over the past 10 years is -22.8% a year (least-squares fit on the logarithm; R² 0.63, a moderate fit, with sizeable swings around the path).
  • Measured end to end, compound growth is -60.3% a year over five years and -23.8% a year over ten.
  • The record high was US$31.6 million in Aug 2021; the latest is 99% below it.
  • The past five years include an exceptional swing in the annual growth rate, so no typical range is quoted.

How to read this series

Official reserves. The foreign currency and other reserve assets held by the central bank, in US dollars. Reserves pay for imports and foreign debt in a crisis. Short-term net drains are payments already committed within a year, so headline reserves overstate what is freely usable.

  • 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.
  • Recent periods are often revised as fuller data arrive. The version comparison below shows what MMA has changed since this site began keeping copies.
