| ISL.CCRE....... | Key statistical concept
The real effective exchange rate is an indicator of competitiveness which takes into account both export and import competitiveness. A fall indicates improvement in competitive position.
Quality comments
The rates are calculated by the OECD. Included in the calculation are 34 OECD countries and 15 non-OECD countries.
The calculation of competitiveness indicators and effective exchange rates uses a system of weights based on a double-weighting principle, which takes account of the structure of competition in both export and import markets. The effective exchange rate index is a chain-linked index with base period 2005.
A discussion of this methodology is given in Durand et al. (1992), Le Fouler et al (2001) and Brézillon et al (2010).

Weights are revised every day and the index uses a chained Paasche formula. Monthly data are end-of-period. Quarterly and annual data are averages of monthly figures.

Key statistical concept
Reserve assets consist of those external assets that are readily available to and controlled by monetary authorities for direct financing of payments imbalances. Reserve assets comprise of monetary gold, SDRs, reserve position in the Fund, foreign exchange assets (consisting of currency and deposits and securities) and other claims.
The IMF determines the value of SDRs (Special Drawing Rights) daily by summing, in US dollars, the values - which are based on market exchange rates - of a weighted basket of currencies. The basket and weights are subject to revision from time to time.
