Talk:Foreign exchange reserves

message: This article is impossible to understand. What is the purpose of foreign-exchange reserves? What's the point? Nowhere is this expressed, even in a section entitled "purpose" (which devolves within the very first paragraph into a discussion of the impossibility of... honestly I have no clue what).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.177.166.253 (talk) 17:59, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Does not explain purpose

message: This is the categorisation employed by the IMF in its calculations of overall Foreign reserve positions. It would be helpful if we could offer a definition of what that meant here. Eusebeus 11:22, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

message: User:Elk Salmon,
Where is the data for July coming from ? In the normal course of events, July data will only be available in August. Except for China and Singapore. When it would only be available in September. Could you provide a link for verification ?

replies: text: as of 1 July. Data is available on the sites of official central banks. Elk Salmon 07:29, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  It says at the "end of June" released sometime on July. July 1 = end of June. So whatever number is for the month of June. Russia you says released its data weekly not monthly, so you take care of that. I want to know how ROK release its FX data: is it monthly too? Countries such as PRC release its data quarterly (every 3 months). Heilme 01:22, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Here  (in PDF file) I found data from Bank of Korea for ROK's info. Like ROC, ROK also released its data monthly - "end of June". So, the FX data should read June not July 1. Heilme 01:30, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

text:  Data for Japan here. Also "end of June". Monthyl report. Heilme 02:09, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  30 june = 30 june to 2 july. Elk Salmon 07:42, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

text: what is 30 June = 30 June to 2 July? makes no common sense. 134.84.164.193 22:32, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  makes all sense. take a look at calendar. Elk Salmon 23:44, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What's with the calendar? 30 June is Friday and so? The data reports for the end of the month of June, and so the number is for June. That's the standard way to report. For example, if you want to report the GDP of Brazil at the end of 2005, you would say Brazil's GDP in 2005 is $xxx, not Brazil's GDP in 1 January 2006. That's silly. Heilme 08:37, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I repeat, data (except for russia) is for the end of every month. It's not conventional to report it on the first day of the following month (i.e. "1 July" for "the end of June"). Heilme 08:47, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Data suspicious 

message: There is a comment regarding "regular" consultation at the East Asia Summit in view of establishing an Asian Currency Unit.  I have not deleted this but there is no source.  I do question it.  There has only been two meetings of the EAS one in 2005 and in 2007, at neither of these was the ACU discussed.  The ACU is a concept being developed by the Asian Development Bank and is based on the ASEAN Plus Three members not the EAS members (so no India).  The current version of the table also includes Germany (who has nothing to do with EAS), Hong Kong SAR (not part of EAS although China is), Taiwan (not part of the EAS) and Russa (not part but an observer in 2005).  If the statement cannot be jsutified it should be removed but as it has been in the article so long I have questioned it.  --202.4.78.29 03:12, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

message: You say manipulation, I say stabilisation...potehto or potahto ?
"But often, the size of reserves is passively caused by the currency policy of the central bank."
Really ? Or because Republican policy really pushed up the price of oil ? So the oil exporting nations like Russia are rapidly accumulating reserves ?
Also, its pointless for the US Treasury to blame every holder of Notes for their need to borrow 3 billion per working day. Isn't it the responsibility of the US govt to stabilise/manipulate their own currency ? Perhaps USA should also accumulate reserves, to prevent its currency from rising. Or is it out of control already ?

replies: text: Well according to the map the US already does hold reserves, presumably largely in euros and yen? Also, this is perhaps a stupid question, but are FC reserves held in cash or just on paper?--Dub8lad1 00:36, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Well, may be it's not owned by monetary authority. It's owned by Ministry of Finances. But it is reserves and quite big reserves ($113bln as of begin of may). Why not to add as well? May be as a separate entry with no ranking...? Praddy? Elk Salmon 11:18, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as i know stabfund of Russia is not being included in reserves. It's owned by Ministry of Finances, while reserves are owned by Central Bank. Elk Salmon 12:30, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

message: can someone or anyone please explain how foreign reserves accumulate (the processes involved) in the article. its been very ambigious like how does it accumulate if the currency is appreciating and doing well in exports. Does it collect fees every time a foreign currency transaction takes place, or it issues bonds, --Visik 05:58, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Your wish is our command ;). Seriously, if you have comments on how readable the text is, that would be welcome.--Gregalton 12:05, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
