Foreign exchange reserves in South Africa rose to a record high of USD 54.86 USD billion in September 2019 from USD 49.95 USD million in August. The latest reading mainly reflected the proceeds from foreign debt issuance by National Treasury (NT) and foreign exchange swaps conducted for liquidity management purposes. These factors were partially offset by the decrease in the USD gold price and the foreign exchange payments made on behalf of government. Foreign Exchange Reserves in South Africa averaged 30619.51 USD Million from 1998 until 2019, reaching an all time high of 54860 USD Million in September of 2019 and a record low of 5316 USD Million in September of 1998.
