What the numbers say
In 2025, Finland's total reserves, excluding gold (current US$) rose 13.9% on 2024 (from US$14.32 billion to US$16.31 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +2.4% and a typical year strayed about 16.7% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.7 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 259.1% in 1987 and the biggest yearly fall was 52.3% in 1986. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about US$926 million a year. A straight line explains 90% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
This series includes external assets (excluding monetary gold) that are readily available to and controlled by monetary authorities for meeting balance of payments financing needs, for intervention in exchange markets to affect the currency exchange rate, and for other related purposes (such as maintaining confidence in the currency and the economy, and serving as a basis for foreign borrowing). Reserve assets must be denominated and settled in foreign currency. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time.
