Official gold holdings fell by $571M and the gold tranche position by 3537™ largely because of payment of the gold portion of the increased US subscription to the International Monetary Fund. Against this, holdings of convertible currency, mostly sterling, increased by $540M. This gave an aggregate decline of $568M in official reserve assets.

The trade balance, however, was less healthy. Imports rose by 19 per cent to $25,500M and exports by 11 per cent to #29,200M. This reduced the trade surplus to $3,700M from the 1965 figures of $4, 800M.
