The dollar is 57.13% of the world's $13.1 trillion of reserves
Source: IMF COFER data brief, 1 Jul 2026. Note that since 2025Q3 these are shares of 100% of world reserves, with the previously unallocated portion imputed by IMF staff, rather than shares of allocated reserves only.
Central banks hold about $13.1 trillion of foreign exchange reserves, and the IMF publishes the currency mix every quarter. The dollar is 57.13% of that, down from about 72% in 2001. The euro, at 20.03%, has captured almost none of the difference.
