Central banks impact our daily lives in many ways with their role to promote economic and 
financial welfare of citizens, but their operations are even more critical during a crisis. Central bank reserves provide an essential buffer against uncertain economic outcomes and help protect against economic shocks to promote trade, maintain price stability, and attract foreign investment. Effective reserve management supports the broader mission of central banks to set targets for unemployment, inflation, and interest rates to ensure a healthy economy with full employment and favorable conditions to promote investments and the conducting of business.

Building a resilient and inclusive recovery: World Bank Group Annual Meetings to focus on the path ahead for developing countries
The coronavirus pandemic wreaked havoc around the world and dealt a major setback to 
decades of development outcomes. Last spring, we successfully championed a moratorium on debt for the world’s poorest countries and launched a fast, broad-based response to COVID-19. We are financing emergency operations in over 111 countries – home to 70% of the global population- which has been the largest and fastest crisis response in the World Bank Group’s history.
