Monthly data published in accordance with the IMF International Reserves Template

Since April 2000, reserves data have been published on a monthly basis in accordance with the IMF/G10's Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS) using a specified template.

These data record the value and composition of the UK government's gold and foreign currency assets, liabilities and derivatives on a "marked-to-market" basis (that is, using current market valuations).

For time series of these data, see Data on UK official reserves.

HMT issue a monthly press release which summarises the data. It also reports details of any intervention operations conducted in the foreign exchange market during the period, by either the EEA or the Bank. The most recent episode of intervention occurred in September 2000, when the UK government, via the EEA, participated in joint G7 intervention to support the euro.

Published annual accounts

HMT has a statutory obligation, under the Finance Act 2000, to publish annual accounts for the EEA which are audited by the National Audit Office.
