Report informs, citing the CBA, that income from the management of foreign currency assets amounted to $505.5 million in 2025, with a yield of 4.6%, exceeding benchmark indicators.
Official foreign exchange reserves increased by $555.4 million, or 5.1%, reaching $11.5 billion due to management income, domestic market operations and exchange rate differences.
During the year, reserves were managed amid high market volatility linked to geopolitical and geoeconomic factors. In particular, discussions around US tariff policy affected expectations for global growth, while the central banks of the US and Europe pursued cautious monetary policy amid persistent inflation.
