The following tables provide data on Singapore's Official Foreign Reserves according to the IMF's Data Template on International Reserves and Foreign Currency Liquidity. The data template is a prescribed category of the IMF's Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS), to which Singapore has been a subscribing member since the SDDS was established in 1996. It integrates the concepts of international reserves and foreign currency liquidity by including both balance-sheet data and off-balance-sheet information on a country's external assets. It also notes future and potential inflows and outflows of foreign exchange associated with the balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet positions.
Further details on the template and SDDS can be found on the IMF Dissemination Standards Bulletin Board (DSBB) .
