Foreign Exchange Reserves (months of imports)
Months of imports that can be covered by official foreign exchange reserves. The IMF recommends a minimum of 3 months for import-dependent economies; 6–12 months is considered prudent for emerging markets. Very high values (15+ months) reflect large oil revenues or export surpluses. Low reserves leave currencies exposed to speculative attacks and limit crisis-response capacity.
