United States: Reserve Position in International Monetary Fund (IMF)

Macro

2026-10-31

Description

The US Reserve Position in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is reported by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. This indicator reflects the amount of reserves that the US can draw upon from the IMF to meet balance of payments needs. It is a key measure of a country's financial strength and its ability to contribute to and draw upon international financial resources. A higher reserve position generally indicates a stronger financial standing.

The reserve position is calculated based on the US quota in the IMF, the amount of currency held by the IMF, and the balance of credit and loans with the IMF. It represents the difference between a member country's currency held by the IMF and the member's quota in the IMF.

The data is updated monthly and is typically provided in the Treasury International Capital System (TICS) report by the US Department of the Treasury.

In August 2026 (Q3 2026), the US reserve position in the IMF was 31,591 million USD, down from 32,485 million USD in July. This change primarily reflects the repayment of loans by some IMF borrowing countries or a slowdown in new financing demands, while the overall reserve level still maintains a strong liquidity buffer capacity.
