At end-September 2010, the NTMA held some €22 billion, and the National Pensions Reserve Fund €3.3 billion, in cash. The Central Bank reported in its Money and Banking Statistics published on 24 September 2010 that the balance for gold and receivables was €195 million. I am informed by the Bank that it does not hold any reserves in cash.
