About Reserve Currencies
Reserve currencies are foreign currencies held in significant quantities by central banks and monetary authorities as part of their foreign exchange reserves. The IMF's Currency Composition of Official Foreign Exchange Reserves (COFER) dataset tracks the allocation of these reserves across major currencies. The data is reported voluntarily by 149 IMF member economies and is published quarterly with approximately a 3-month lag.
