Foreign Exchange Reserves as of the End of May 2016

The foreign exchange reserves of the Republic of China amounted to US$433.43 billion as of the end of May 2016, showing an increase of US$248 million from the figure recorded at the end of the previous month.

The level of foreign exchange reserves showed a moderate increase in May because returns from the management of reserve assets were offset by the depreciation of the euro and other reserve currencies against the US dollar.
