Czech FX Reserves Edge Lower in April to $178.3B

The Czech Republic’s foreign exchange reserves slipped slightly in April 2026, easing to USD 178.3 billion from USD 179.0 billion in March, according to data updated on 7 May 2026.

The marginal USD 0.7 billion decline follows a period of elevated reserve levels and suggests only a modest adjustment in the country’s external buffers. The latest figure for April underscores that the Czech central authorities maintain substantial foreign currency holdings, even as monthly fluctuations continue.

Market participants will be watching forthcoming releases to see whether April’s dip marks the beginning of a gradual normalization of reserves or just a temporary movement within a broader stable trend.
