comment This item covers external assets which are controlled by the monetary authority, highly liquid, marketable and recognized as an international currency. Reserve assets are claims denominated in foreign currency (not in EUR) vis-à-vis non-euro area debtors. Examples are securities, credit balances, gold and special drawing rights (IMF) as well as the reserve position in the Fund. Transactions are valued at market prices. Balance of payments (flow): Positive balance: capital outflow/export. Negative balance: capital inflow/import. Net changes in stocks regarding the international investment position (IIP) might be caused by transactions, valuation effects (price- and exchange rate effects) and reclassifications. By definition, reserve assets only consist in assets and thus represent net assets.
