How we prepared it

  • Downloaded from the official publications on September 26, 2026 and filtered to the 34 countries in the region.
  • Daily central bank series converted to monthly average (reserves: last data point of the month).
  • IMF values after 2025 are flagged as projections.
  • No imputed values: if a source does not publish a data point, there is no row.
  • Each row indicates its source; IMF and World Bank may differ due to methodology and both are kept.
