Data published by NBH are preliminary figures. Already in the second quarter, Hungary re-offered a USD 500 million batch of USD bonds, which will be reflected in the end-April international figures.
The NBH reports international reserves figures both in USD and EUR. USD numbers show USD 50.734 billion reserves for end-March, up EUR 4 billion from a month earlier. Two thirds of the growth is attributable to a rise in foreign currency reserves and the rest to an increase in other reserve assets. (see chart in the photo gallery)
