The Czech Republic’s foreign exchange reserves in euros rose modestly in May 2026, underscoring continued external stability for the country. According to the latest data, updated on 9 June 2026, FX reserves reached EUR 156.340 billion, up from EUR 155.320 billion in April 2026.
The increase of just over EUR 1 billion suggests a steady accumulation of reserves rather than any abrupt policy shift or market stress. While specific drivers were not detailed, the gradual rise in reserves typically points to resilient external balances and provides the central bank with a larger buffer against potential currency or financial market volatility.
The May reading extends the positive trend from April and keeps the Czech Republic’s FX war chest at historically elevated levels, reinforcing confidence in the country’s capacity to manage external shocks and support financial stability if needed.
