The Ministry of Finance's National Budget 2025 projections show state reserves rising by US$705 million next year, helped by new MMA foreign exchange rules and a US$400 million currency swap with the Reserve Bank of India. However, usable reserves fell by US$17 million over the previous month to US$32 million, the largest decline in three years, attributed to higher US dollar expenditure.
