Depending on the balance of payments or trade surplus (more exports than imports) or deficits (more imports than exports), as defined in Trade Statistics, a country is either growing its foreign exchange reserves (which will help it to defend its currency through purchases of foreign currency), or has shrinking reserves, which may leave it exposed to external influences. This is true for all countries except the US, since the US Dollar is the world's reserve currency. With fears that the US dollar is being undervalued by large budget deficits in America, central banks are tending to stockpile gold reserves as a fallback and hedge against inflation.
