Saudi Arabia’s reserve assets registered a slight decline in June 2025, according to data released by the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA). The total value of reserve assets reached approximately SAR 1.716 trillion, equivalent to US$457 billion, compared to SAR 1.754 trillion ($467.6 billion) in June of the previous year, a decrease of approximately 2 percent year-on-year.<\/p>\n
The data indicated that the item “foreign exchange and deposits abroad” witnessed a 2.2 percent increase, reaching SAR 660.6 billion ($176 billion) by the end of June 2025, compared to SAR 646.3 billion ($172.3 billion) in the same period in 2024, reflecting a slight growth in the Kingdom’s foreign balances and external liquidity.<\/p>\n
In contrast, “Investment in Securities Abroad” stabilized at SAR 959.4 billion ($255.7 billion), down from SAR 1.016 trillion ($270.8 billion) recorded in June of last year. This indicates a slight decline in the volume of foreign investments, which constitute a major component of the reserve assets structure.<\/p>\n
Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), an international financial instrument issued by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), also recorded a significant growth of nearly 5%, rising to SAR 81.3 billion ($21.7 billion), compared to SAR 77.3 billion ($20.6 billion) in June 2024.<\/p>\n
Reserve Position with the IMF remained stable at SAR 13.3 billion ($3.5 billion) during the same period.<\/p>\n
These figures reflect the Kingdom’s continued efforts to manage its foreign reserves within the framework of a balance between foreign investments and liquidity, and to keep pace with global economic changes. These reserves are an important factor in supporting macroeconomic stability and enhancing the Kingdom’s ability to confront crises and international market fluctuations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
