Trinidad and To­ba­go’s net of­fi­cial for­eign re­serves to­talled US$5.580 bil­lion at the end of Feb­ru­ary 2026, a de­crease of US$135 mil­lion or 2.36 per cent from Jan­u­ary 2026, when the re­serves amount­ed to US$5.715 bil­lion, ac­cord­ing to da­ta from the Cen­tral Bank web­site.

T&T’s net of­fi­cial for­eign re­serves plunged to a near 20-year low at the end of Au­gust last year, when the Cen­tral Bank record­ed its hold­ings of for­eign ex­change at US$4.61 bil­lion, just above the US$4.53 bil­lion re­port­ed in March 2006.

The de­cline in T&T’s for­eign re­serves to a near 20-year low in Au­gust 2025, pre­ced­ed by less than a month the an­nounce­ment by S&P Glob­al Rat­ings on Sep­tem­ber 25, 2025, that it was re­vis­ing the coun­try’s out­look from sta­ble to neg­a­tive, while main­tain­ing the long-term sov­er­eign cred­it rat­ing at “BBB-” (in­vest­ment grade).
