The Central Bank of Nicaragua published its 2025 international reserves results, reporting Gross International Reserves (RIB) of USD 8,324.8 million as of 31 December 2025, an increase of USD 2,219.7 million over the year. The central bank attributed the 2025 increase mainly to a monetary policy stance that strengthened the use of the national currency and a fiscal consolidation policy that raised national savings. Operational drivers cited included higher public sector deposits, foreign-exchange purchases at the BCN’s exchange desk, external disbursements, and financial income from investments abroad; the BCN also noted that reserves have doubled over the last four years. For 2026, the BCN expects reserves to continue growing, supporting the current exchange rate regime and providing protection against external and internal shocks while underpinning Nicaragua’s macroeconomic and financial stability.
