The foreign exchange reserves of the Republic of China amounted to US$460.18 billion as of the end of October 2018, showing a decrease of US$263 million from the figure recorded at the end of the previous month.

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