Value-added panel of the World Bank's World Development Indicators (keyless API v2, CC BY 4.0): central-bank foreign-exchange reserve levels — total reserves incl. gold and excl. gold (current US$) plus import cover (months of imports) — for ~230 economies, 1960-2025, with the gold share of reserves (central-bank gold accumulation lens), reserve growth, import-cover adequacy flags and per-year holder ranks. The stock/composition companion to the catalog's IMF reserve-adequacy ratios; joins on economy_code with the catalog's other World Bank panels.

Column	Type	Description
economy_code	string	ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 economy code (World Bank API field countryiso3code).
economy_name	string	Economy name as published by the World Bank API.
region	string	World Bank region (API field region.value).
income_group	string	World Bank income group (API field incomeLevel.value).
year	integer	Reference year (1960-2025; 2025 is the latest WDI vintage).
reserves_usd	float	Total reserves including gold, current US$ (WDI indicator FI.RES.TOTL.CD: 'Total reserves (includes gold, current US$)'). Negative upstream-artifact cells (TCD 1968/1969) are nulled, never imputed. (unit: current US$)
reserves_ex_gold_usd	float	Total reserves excluding gold, current US$ (WDI indicator FI.RES.XGLD.CD). Negative upstream-artifact cells are nulled, never imputed. (unit: current US$)
import_cover_months	float	Total reserves in months of imports (WDI indicator FI.RES.TOTL.MO). Negative upstream-artifact cells are nulled, never imputed. (unit: months of imports)
gold_share_pct	float	Share of total reserves held as gold, percent: (reserves_usd - reserves_ex_gold_usd) / reserves_usd * 100. Null unless both USD series are present and reserves_usd > 0 — the central-bank gold-accumulation lens. (unit: %)
reserves_change_1y_pct	float	Trailing 1-year percent change of reserves_usd; null when the base year is absent or zero. (unit: %)
reserves_change_5y_pct	float	Trailing 5-year percent change of reserves_usd; null when the base year is absent or zero. (unit: %)
gold_share_change_5y_pp	float	Trailing 5-year change of gold_share_pct, in percentage points; null when the base year is absent. (unit: pp)
import_cover_adequate_flag	boolean	1 when import_cover_months >= 3.0 (the classic import-cover adequacy bar), 0 when below, null when import cover is null. (unit: flag)
reserves_rank	integer	Rank of reserves_usd within the year (1 = largest reserve holder); null where reserves_usd is null. (unit: rank)
row_hash	string	Deterministic 12-hex row identity hash (economy_code\|year).

First 10 sample rows — a preview, not the complete dataset.
