France’s reserve assets fell in September 2026, reversing the previous month’s position above €380 billion, according to the latest data released on 7 October 2026.
Total reserve assets declined to €370,203.0 million in September, down from €380,694.0 million recorded in August 2026. The roughly €10.5 billion month-on-month decrease marks a notable contraction in France’s external buffers after August’s higher reading.
While no detailed breakdown accompanied the headline figures, the September move suggests a cooling in reserve accumulation or possible valuation effects following August’s peak, and will likely be monitored by analysts tracking France’s external resilience and monetary conditions going into the final quarter of 2026.
