Forex
Reserves are Foreign-exchange reserve assets held by a nation's Central
Bank or other monetary authority, usually in various reserve
currencies, mostly the United States dollar, and to a lesser extent the
euro, the pound sterling, the Japanese yen, and the Chinese yuan, and
used to back its liabilities—e.g., the local currency issued, and the various bank reserves deposited with the central bank by the government or by financial institutions.
