The Reserve Bank of Australia published its June 2026 official reserve assets data, showing total holdings of A$102.52 billion at month-end, equivalent to US$70.42 billion. In Australian dollar terms, this was up from A$100.57 billion in May, while the US dollar value fell from US$72.05 billion, reflecting the release’s stated drivers of reserve movements, including foreign exchange transactions, earnings on foreign securities and valuation effects from asset prices and exchange rates. The June composition in Australian dollar terms was A$59.56 billion in foreign exchange, A$20.78 billion in Special Drawing Rights, A$3.58 billion in the reserve position in the International Monetary Fund, A$15.05 billion in gold and A$3.55 billion in other reserve assets. Compared with May, foreign exchange, SDRs and the IMF reserve position increased, while gold and other reserve assets declined. The release notes that other reserve assets include derivatives with non-resident entities, holdings in the Asian Bond Fund, loans to the International Monetary Fund’s Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust, and holdings in the deposit and loan accounts of the IMF’s Resilience and Sustainability Trust. Additional data on Australia’s foreign exchange transactions and holdings of official reserve assets will be published on the Reserve Bank’s website on the third Thursday of the month, while data on international reserves and foreign currency liquidity will be released on the last business day of the month.
