Switzerland’s official reserve assets inched up in January 2026, signaling continued stability in the country’s external position. According to the latest data updated on 27 February 2026, total reserves rose to CHF 853.1 billion, compared with CHF 852.6 billion at the end of December 2025.
The modest increase of CHF 0.5 billion over the month suggests only a slight adjustment in the Swiss National Bank’s balance sheet of foreign assets, rather than any major intervention or shift in policy. The new figure keeps Switzerland among the countries with the largest official reserves globally, underlining the enduring strength of its financial system and its capacity to respond to external shocks.
