Foreign Exchange Reserves as of the End of March 2017

The foreign exchange reserves of the Republic of China amounted to US$437.53 billion as of the end of March 2017, showing a decrease of US$135 million from the figure recorded at the end of  the previous month.

The level of foreign exchange reserves showed a moderate decrease in March because an increase in foreign assets held by domestic investors  offset returns from the management of reserve assets.
