Reserves

Reserves refer to resources that are set aside for future use or purposes. In finance, this may mean money or assets that a company retains to manage unforeseen expenses or investments. In a broader context, reserves can also apply to natural resources, such as oil or minerals, which are identified but not yet extracted. Essentially, reserves act as a safety net or buffer, ensuring that there are available resources to meet future needs or challenges, whether in business, government, or environmental management.
