Foreign exchange reserves and nominal effective exchange rate index for the pataca – November 2019


The Monetary Authority of Macao announced today that the preliminary estimate of Macao SAR’s foreign exchange reserves amounted to MOP170.9 billion (USD21.20 billion) at the end of November 2019. The reserves decreased by 1.4% from the revised value of MOP173.3 billion (USD21.47 billion) for the previous month. Macao SAR’s foreign exchange reserves at end-November 2019 represented 10 times the currency in circulation or 82.3% of pataca M2 at end-October 2019.

The trade-weighted effective exchange rate index for the pataca dropped 0.26 points month-to-month but rose 0.74 points year-on-year to 107.7 in November 2019, implying that overall speaking, the exchange rate of the pataca declined against the currencies of Macao’s major trading partners on a monthly basis but increased on an annual basis.
