Japan’s foreign exchange reserves rose modestly in April 2026, underscoring continued stability in the country’s external position. Total reserves increased to USD 1,383.0 billion, up from USD 1,374.7 billion recorded in March 2026.
The latest figures, updated on 11 May 2026, point to a month-on-month gain of USD 8.3 billion. While the data release does not detail the drivers behind the increase, the rise in reserves may reflect valuation changes in reserve assets and ongoing management by Japanese authorities to maintain ample buffers amid an uncertain global economic backdrop.
With reserves remaining above the USD 1.3 trillion mark, Japan continues to hold one of the world’s largest foreign currency stockpiles, providing a significant cushion against external shocks and potential market volatility.
