Following the decrease by about USD 144.15 million in March and April, the official reserve assets restored to the level of USD 3,118.53 million, according to data of 24 April 2020.
This development was mainly determined by the emergency credit granted by the International Monetary Fund in favour of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Moldova to manage the exceptional epidemiological situation caused by COVID-19. The amount is the equivalent of 172.5 million special drawing rights (SDRs), which represents about USD 233.9 million.
Additional information on the factors that influenced the dynamics of official reserve assets will be presented on 7 May 2020, along with the publication of the press release on their evolution in April 2020.
