The Czech Republic’s foreign exchange reserves rose in May 2026, continuing their upward trajectory. According to data updated on 9 June 2026, reserves increased to USD 182.1 billion, up from USD 178.3 billion in April 2026.
The May gain signals a further strengthening of the country’s external buffer, adding nearly USD 3.8 billion in reserves over the month. While the data release does not specify underlying drivers, the expansion in FX holdings may reflect ongoing central bank operations, valuation effects, or external inflows that support the Czech Republic’s capacity to manage currency and financial-market volatility.
