What I Heard About Foreign Reserves ? by urahara(m): 9:14pm On Jan 06, 2020
Today I heard that countries don't keep their foreign reserves in a safe.They invest them, mostly in bond markets.

How true is this ?

The most craziest idea it is. Most countries deposit the money in their own banks. Ours I can't explain.

If foreign reserves are held in u.s bonds then how is the cbn able to quickly intervene in the forex market.

Which dollars do they use to intervene ?

They can sell it on open market since US treasury bonds are very liquid. Im sure they also have cash aswell. You see the how much of each on CBN website.
