From July 1974 through December 1980, sixteen currencies were used; since January 1981, five currencies have been used. U.S. SDR holdings and reserve positions in the IMF have also been valued on this basis since July 1974.   Return to table

  4. Includes holdings of Treasury and Federal Reserve System; beginning November 1978, these are valued at current market exchange rates or, where appropriate, at such other rates as may be agreed upon by the parties to the transactions. Excludes outstanding reciprocal currency swaps with foreign central banks. As of end-February 2010 through end-April 2010 there were no swaps outstanding. As of end-June 2010 swaps outstanding were $1.032 billion with the European Central Bank and $0.213 billion with the Bank of Japan.   Return to table
