Forex Reserves: Foreign exchange reserves are considered the strongest indicator of a country’s economic stability and its ability to respond to global financial shocks. With the help of these reserves, the country gets a lot of help in managing imports, stabilizing its currencies, repaying foreign debt and facing economic crises. Let us know which neighboring country of India has the highest foreign exchange reserves.
Who tops in foreign exchange reserves?
China currently has foreign exchange reserves of about $3.44 trillion. With this it becomes the country with the largest reserve in the world. The country’s large export sector, strong manufacturing base and persistent trade surplus have helped it accumulate these reserves. China’s reserves are 5 times more than that of India and much more than any other neighboring country.
India’s strong global position
India’s foreign exchange reserves as of June 2026 are approximately $671.62 billion. Despite global market volatility and fluctuations in gold prices, India’s reserves are strong enough to cover imports for more than 11 months. This provides important protection from external economic shocks and strengthens investor confidence in the Indian economy.
Signs of improvement in Bangladesh
Bangladesh currently has foreign exchange reserves of about $35.63 billion. After facing pressure on its currency and import payments for the past few years, Bangladesh has seen a gradual recovery due to remittances from workers abroad, export earnings and financial assistance from international institutions.

Pakistan’s reserves also improved
Pakistan’s total foreign exchange reserves have reached approximately 22.74 billion dollars. The country’s reserve position has improved slightly after support from the International Monetary Fund, financial assistance from friendly countries and efforts to stabilize the economy. According to reports, State Bank of Pakistan has about $17.22 billion of this reserve.
China’s lead is unmatched
The difference between China and the rest of the countries in the region is huge. On one hand, India’s position is strong at the global level, on the other hand, China’s reserves are at the forefront due to its export-based economy and external earnings of foreign exchange. Along with this, after economic difficulties, signs of improvement have been seen in both Bangladesh and Pakistan. However, their reserve level is still much lower than China and India.
