Reserve Position" and "3. Special Drawing Rights (SDRs),"
are based on data provided by the IMF and are valued in dollar terms at the
official SDR/dollar exchange rate for the reporting date. The entries for the
latest week reflect any necessary adjustments, including revaluation, by the
U.S. Treasury to IMF data for the prior month end.
3/ Gold stock is valued monthly at

international reserves. However, it is
included in the broader balance of payments presentation as "U.S.
Government assets, other than official reserve assets/U.S. foreign currency
holdings and U.S.
short-term assets."
