Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The official reserve account is part of a country's balance of payments and includes not only the change in US official reserve assets (if referring specifically to the US) but also the changes in foreign currency reserves, Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), reserve position in the IMF, and gold reserves for any country. It is a broader measure than just changes in one type of asset.
