Abstract
Between 1995 and 2008, global total official reserves, excluding gold, grew from $1.3 trillion to $6.0 trillion. Growth has been particularly strong since 2002. The bulk of the increase took place in emerging economies, whereas the reserves of the G-10 countries excluding Japan have remained stable. Foreign exchange market interventions, on the other hand, have declined substantially in developed economies. In Table 8.1, we present estimates of the reserves of various central banks.
