A statutory reserve, often referred to as a statutory reserve fund, is a requirement imposed by regulatory authorities or governing statutes that mandates financial institutions, such as banks or insurance companies, to set aside a certain percentage of their profits as reserves. These reserves are typically intended to ensure the stability and solvency of the institution, protect against financial risks, and promote sound financial practices.
