Canada’s international reserve assets declined modestly in March 2026, easing to $126.8 billion from $128.1 billion in February, according to data updated on 7 April 2026.
The figures indicate a slight reduction of $1.3 billion in the country’s reserves over the month. While the move is relatively small in absolute terms, it may draw attention from market participants tracking Canada’s external buffers and the policy environment influencing reserve management.
These reserve asset levels, which include holdings such as foreign currencies and other external assets, are closely watched as a gauge of the country’s capacity to respond to external shocks and support financial stability. The March reading suggests that Canada’s reserve position remains substantial, despite the marginal month-on-month decline.
