PRESS RELEASE                                     Release Date:  October 7, 2020      

Foreign Exchange Reserves as of the End of September 2020

The foreign exchange reserves of the Republic of China amounted to US$499.60 billion as of the end of September 2020, showing an increase of US$1.43 billion from the figure recorded at the end of the previous month.

The factors responsible for the change of the foreign exchange reserves in September 2020 are:

  1. Returns from foreign exchange reserves management.

  2. The depreciation of the euro and other reserve currencies against the US dollar. Foreign exchange reserves denominated in these currencies were worth less in terms of the base currency, the US dollar.

  3. Due to large capital flows, the central bank stepped in to maintain an orderly foreign exchange market.
