外汇储备作为一个国家金融实力的标志，是充实国库、稳定本国汇率的物质基础。但是，外汇储备增长过快、规模过高也会给经济带来很多不利影响。针对目前外汇储备充实国库的现状，央行提出了三项解决措施：不再“宽进严出”、变“藏汇于国”为“藏汇于民”、鼓励企业“走出去”。
请看《中国日报》的相关报道：China has noticed the negative impacts brought by its huge foreign exchange reserves, at more than US$870 billion, and is taking steps to relieve the pressure. The State Administration of Foreign Exchange has started to free up the country's foreign exchange regime with a shift from stockpiling foreign exchange reserves in State coffers to letting businesses and individuals hold more foreign currency.
报道中的to stockpile foreign exchange reserve in State coffers实质上是“藏汇于国”的相应英文表达，“国”在这里指state coffers（国库）。Coffer原意指safe（保险箱），我们日常生活中所言的“私房钱”或“小金库”就可以说成a private coffer。 当coffer涉及到巨大的财源，表示金库或国库时，人们常用它的复数形式，如The government's coffers are almost empty.（ 政府的金库几乎空了。） 顺便提一下，“藏汇于国”的“藏”实质上是“储藏”，可用stockpile来表示；“汇”不言而喻就是“外汇”了，而“外汇储备”则可用foreign exchange reserve来表达。
