Foreign exchange reserves and nominal effective exchange rate index for the pataca – December 2017


The Monetary Authority of Macao announced today that the preliminary estimate of Macao SAR’s foreign exchange reserves amounted to MOP162.3 billion (USD20.17 billion) at the end of December 2017. The reserves increased by 3.1% from the revised value of MOP157.4 billion (USD19.57 billion) for the previous month. Macao SAR’s foreign exchange reserves at end-December 2017 represented 11 times the currency in circulation or 90.5% of pataca M2 at end-November 2017.

The trade-weighted effective exchange rate index for the pataca dropped 0.53 points month-to-month and 6.05 points year-on-year to 104.1 in December 2017, implying that overall speaking, the exchange rate of the pataca declined against the currencies of Macao’s major trading partners.
