The rapid growth of international reserves, a development concentrated
in the emerging markets, remains a puzzle. In this paper, we
suggest that a model based on financial stability and financial openness
goes far toward explaining reserve holdings in the modern era
of globalized capital markets. The size of domestic financial liabilities
that could potentially be converted into foreign currency (M2),
financial openness, the ability to access foreign currency through
debt markets, and exchange rate policy are all significant predictors
of reserve stocks. Our empirical financial-stability model seems to
outperform both traditional models and recent explanations based
on external short-term debt. (JEL E23, E43, E44, F31, F32, F34)
