US dollar share of global reserves edges up in Q1, euro's share dips
The U.S. dollar's share of currency reserves reported to the International Monetary Fund rose in the first quarter of the year, in the midst of a still aggressive rate-hike cycle from the Federal Reserve aimed at curbing uncomfortably high inflation. Global reserves, which are reported in U.S. dollars, are central bank assets held in different currencies used in part to support their liabilities. Central banks sometimes use reserves to help support their respective currencies.
