BNM International Reserves Dips Slightly To US$113.3 Billion
Bank Negara Malaysia reported today that the international reserves amounted to USD113.3 billion as at 15 July 2024. The reserves position it said is sufficient to finance 5.4 months of imports of goods and services, 1 and is 1.0 times of the total short-term external debt.
馬來西亞銀行今天報告稱，截至2024年7月15日，國際儲備總額爲1133億美元。據銀行稱，儲備額足以爲進口貨物和服務提供5.4個月的融資擔保，而且是總短期外債的1.0倍。
This is lower compared to the Central Baknk's announcement early this month of USD113.8 billion as of 28 June 2024. This level of reserves has accounted for the quarterly foreign exchange revaluation changes.
這一數字低於中央銀行於本月初宣佈的2024年6月28日的1138億美元。這一儲備水平已經考慮了季度外匯匯率變化。
Historically, the reserve coverage of imports of goods and services has been between 5 and 8 months since 2008, exceeding the generally accepted adequacy threshold of 3 months.
自2008年以來，貨物和服務進口儲備覆蓋率一直在5個月至8個月之間，超過一般被認爲是充分的3個月的閾值。
The Bank emphasised that reserve adequacy should be assessed with a comprehensive understanding of the country's external position, financial system, and economic policies.
銀行強調，應該綜合了解該國的外部地位、金融體系和經濟政策，評估儲備的充足性。
