Macro

2026-05-30

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.
