MANILA: The Philippines' gross international reserves (GIR) rose in August 2025 to US$105.9 billion from US$105.4 billion in July due to higher global gold prices and income from the Philippine central bank's investments, according to preliminary data released by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on Friday (Sept 5) night.
GIR is made up of foreign-denominated securities, foreign exchange, and other assets, including gold.
