Taiwan’s foreign exchange reserves rose modestly in February 2026, reaching USD 605.49 billion, up from USD 604.46 billion in January 2026. The latest data, updated on 5 March 2026, point to a continued gradual build-up in the island’s reserve buffers.
The February increase of just over USD 1 billion underscores a steady, rather than dramatic, shift in Taiwan’s external position. With reserves already at an elevated level, the incremental gain may signal ongoing efforts to maintain currency stability and safeguard against external shocks, while also reflecting movements in global asset prices and currency valuations over the month.
The data for February 2026 are the latest in a series of high reserve readings for Taiwan, reinforcing its status as one of Asia’s more financially resilient economies in terms of external liquidity. Further releases in coming months will show whether this measured upward trend in reserves persists.
