Now in its sixth year, the only annual survey of central bank reserve managers provides candid insights into the thinking of official sector portfolio managers.
Published in spring each year, RBS Reserve Management Trends 2010 features an exclusive report of a survey of more than 40 central banks, responsible for more than $3 trillion in reserve assets, on their reaction to the global financial crisis and how they view the key questions facing financial markets and the international monetary system.

The book also features practitioner-focused chapters which draw on expert opinion and experience to allow central bankers to benchmark their policies against those of their peers. Authors include Richard Cooper of Harvard University and Heli Huhtala of the Bank of Finland.
As well as detailed analysis of the answers, all comments and observations volunteered by reserve managers are reproduced in full.
This year the survey provides detailed analysis of how central banks are rethinking their strategy and approach to markets in the light of market turmoil and spiralling debt issuance around the world.
The survey focuses on how reserve managers view:
* The internationalisation of the renminbi
* The impact of the crisis on the status of the dollar and euro
* Changing official sector attitudes to gold
* The increase in issuance of sovereign debt
* Liquidity in markets
* The Question of reserve adequacy
The answers may surprise you. Taken together the answers provide a snapshot of how countries manage their reserves in the wake of unprecedented market turmoil.
