In the week ending 25 June 2021 the net position of the Eurosystem in foreign currency (asset items 2 and 3 minus liability items 7, 8 and 9) increased by EUR 0.1 billion to EUR 313.5 billion.

Claims on non-euro area residents denominated in euro (asset item 4) increased by EUR 3 billion to EUR 13.5 billion, mainly owing to Eurosystem operations providing euro liquidity to non-euro area central banks (further details can be found on the ECB’s website under “Central bank liquidity lines”).
