About This Dataset
Countries by Foreign Exchange Reserves 2025
China holds more foreign currency and gold than the next three economies on this list combined, a stockpile built through decades of trade surpluses and managed exchange rates. Switzerland is the anomaly: its reserves come not from exports but from the central bank buying foreign assets to hold down the franc. Reserves are a buffer against currency crises, which is why import-dependent economies hold far more than their trade volumes alone would suggest.
