Japan's reserves hit record

Tokyo (dpa) - Japan's foreign exchange reserves rose to a record 851.67 billion dollars at the end of January, up 4.77 billion dollars from a month earlier, the Finance Ministry said Tuesday.

The ministry attributed the increase to the euro's rise against the US dollar, which pushed up the value of Japan's euro-denominated assets.

Japan's foreign securities rose to 710.55 billion dollars as of January 31 while its foreign currency deposits grew to 122.3 billion dollars.

Japan also had 13.99 billion dollars in gold and held 2.21 billion dollars in International Monetary Fund (IMF) reserve positions, down from 2.88 billion dollars, while 2.61 billion dollars was in IMF special drawing rights, up from 2.59 billion dollars.

Japan's foreign exchange reserves consist of securities and deposits denominated in foreign currencies plus IMF reserve positions, IMF special drawing rights and gold.
