Abstract: This paper provides a comprehensive database covering four elements of the GFSN (foreign exchange reserves, IMF financing, central bank swap lines and regional financing arrangements) for over 150 countries in the sample period 1960–2014. It also presents some key stylised facts regarding the provision of GFSN financing. Finally, it concludes with some avenues for further research on the possible evolution of the GFSN. An update of the data including years 2015-2018 will also be provided online.
