Stress is just how far today's value sits between “norm” (0) and “crisis” (100) — a fixed calibrated scale, not a verdict. It measures pressure, not a prediction of collapse.
International reserves (accessible part) currently reads 300 $ bn, mapping to a stress of 14/100 — well inside the calm zone.
Across the tracked period the stress has eased by 28.6 points.
The value is sourced via official statistics; confidence — medium. How it is derived: CBR reports ~$600bn but ~half frozen; count only usable gold+yuan.
