Dominica's reserves in months of imports stood at 4.4 in 2025, a decline of +0.3 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 4.4 by 2025. Dominica ranked 67th globally.
Dominica’s reserves in months of imports have risen markedly from a low of 0.35 in 1983 to an all‑time peak of 7.59 in 2017, before settling at 4.43 in 2025, placing the island nation at rank 67 globally. The long‑term upward trajectory reflects a gradual deepening of external buffers over five decades, driven by improved fiscal management and diversification of export earnings. Compared with peers of similar ranking, Dominica’s 2025 level is virtually identical to Indonesia’s 4.44 and slightly above Türkiye’s 4.35, suggesting comparable resilience to external shocks among small, open economies. Nevertheless, the recent decline from the 2017 high indicates vulnerability to commodity price swings and external debt servicing pressures. Continued consolidation of foreign exchange reserves will depend on sustaining current current‑account surpluses, attracting stable remittance flows and limiting short‑term external borrowing, which together could restore the upward trend observed in the early 2010s.
