The international reserves of Bank Negara Malaysia amounted to RM421.3 billion (equivalent to USD137.5 billion) as at 28 September 2012. This reserve level has taken into account the quarterly adjustment for foreign exchange revaluation loss, following the strengthening of ringgit against major and regional currencies during the third quarter. The reserves position is sufficient to finance 9.2 months of retained imports and is 3.8 times the short-term external debt.
