Taiwan’s foreign exchange reserves declined to USD 597.15 billion in June 2026, down from a three-month high of USD 605.07 billion in May, reaching their lowest level since March. The contraction mainly reflected central bank operations to stabilize the foreign exchange market, exchange rate movements of major currencies against the US dollar, and shifts in returns from the investment and management of reserve assets.
As of June, foreign investors’ holdings of domestic stocks and bonds—valued at market prices and combined with their New Taiwan dollar deposits—amounted to USD 1.89 trillion, equivalent to roughly 316% of Taiwan’s foreign exchange reserves. A year earlier, in June 2025, the country’s foreign exchange reserves were USD 598.43 billion.
