About this data
Central banks hold reserves to pay for imports, repay foreign debt and defend their currency. Gold is valued at market prices, so a rise in the gold price lifts countries that hold a lot of it.
Countries that issue a reserve currency, such as the United States, need fewer reserves of their own. Euro area countries report their own holdings; the European Central Bank's reserves are not split between them.
FAQ
Which country has the largest foreign exchange reserves?
China, with $3.75T in 2025, followed by United States ($1.39T) and Japan ($1.37T).
Does this include gold?
Yes. Total reserves include gold at market value, foreign currency, special drawing rights and the reserve position at the IMF.
Why is there no world total?
The World Bank does not publish a world sum for this series, so the table has no share-of-world column.
