The decline is the third consecutively in foreign currency levels, as the international reserves went down from $20.08bn in June to $18.5 in July, then to $18.096 in August, to record their lowest level in September.
International foreign reserves have recorded their highest level this year in April, when they registered $20.525bn, according to the CBE.
