Up 0.8% in June to hit 10-year high on FX and gold revaluation gains
Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) international reserves rose by USD1.0b or 0.8% MoM to USD120.6b as of 30 June 2025, highest since November 2014
- Despite the increase, import coverage declined to 4.8 months (May: 5.0), while the reserves-to-shortterm external debt ratio held steady at 0.9 time.
The increase was mainly driven by revaluation gains in foreign exchange (FX) and gold reserves
- FX reserves rose USD0.6b (+0.5% MoM) to USD107.0b, buoyed by a weaker USD. Of note, BNM’s net FX reserves reached USD68.8b in May (Apr: USD67.4b), the highest since August 2022.
