About International Reserves / Foreign Currency Liquidity (end of month) — Official reserve assets
Official reserve assets are the external assets held by the government and the Bank of Japan — foreign currency securities and deposits, the IMF reserve position, SDRs and gold. They fund foreign exchange intervention and are published as an end-of-month balance in US dollars. Where the balance of payments records the change over a period, this is the stock.
