As a result, last year's reserves increased by $ 3.273 billion, or 8.1%.

As of the beginning of 2025, 67.1% of international reserves are securities, 27.6% - cash and deposits, and 5.3% - monetary gold. Compared to 2024, the share of gold increased by 0.9%, and the share of securities decreased slightly.
