Skopje, 26 December 2025 (MIA) - National Bank Governor Trajko Slaveski says the country's foreign exchange (FX) reserves are stable and represent a strong foundation for maintenance of macroeconomic stability.

"FX reserves are higher by 50 percent compared to 2019 and stand at nearly EUR 4.9 billion. This guarantees stability of the foreign exchange rate and provides room for interventions if needed," Governor Slaveski posted on X.

Slaveski adds that a portion of the FX reserves were used through interventions on the foreign exchange market during the covid pandemic but they have been fully recouped since.

At the moment, he notes, FX reserves provide export coverage of 4,6 months, which is above all relevant international standards, which reaffirms the stability of the foreign exchange and financial sector.
