摘要：外汇储备作为国际货币体系的核心，是国际金融领域的重要问题。它关系到各国弥补国际收支赤字和稳定本币汇率的能力，因此一直受到各国政府和国际金融机构的关注。自1994年我国外汇体制改革以来，我国外汇储备规模呈快速增长的趋势，目前已成为世界外汇储备第一大国。然而，持有的外汇储备并非越多越好，过多的储备会造成一国经济的损失。目前，我国巨额的外汇储备是否合适问题已经引起了社会各界的广泛关注：何种原因引起我国外汇储备的迅速增长、如何和管理我国庞大的外汇储备，这些问题已经成为理论界和实务界共同探讨的问题。
本文以外汇储备规模为研究对象，运用我国相关指标的具体数据，从实证方面对我国外汇储备的规模现状、影响因素做一重点分析。本文的创新之处在于，运用计量经济学的方法，利用相关指标的较新数据，从实证角度考察我国外汇储备与进口额以及外债余额之间存在的关系。
