Central bank reserves declined during the second quarter of 2026

Recent official data from the Central Bank showed a decline in the bank’s foreign reserves during the second quarter of this year.

According to data seen by Shafaq News Agency, the reserve amounted to about 118.947 trillion dinars on May 28, compared to 120.675 trillion dinars on May 21, a decrease of 1.728 trillion dinars, or 1.43%, indicating a continued downward trend during the month of May.

According to the data, the reserve continued its decline on a monthly basis, recording about 127.152 trillion dinars in April, after it was at 130.443 trillion dinars in March, reflecting a gradual decrease in total reserve assets during the period from March to the end of May.

Regarding the components of the reserve, the value of gold included in the official reserves amounted to about 32.973 trillion dinars, which represents one of the most important elements of hedging within the structure of the foreign reserve.

This trajectory reflects fluctuations in official reserve levels, linked to multiple factors, including the movement of external returns, liquidity management, and global market volatility during the period in question.
