Taiwan Forex Reserves at 3-Month High

Taiwan's foreign exchange reserves fell to USD 597.15 billion in June 2026 from a three-month high of USD 605.07 billion in the previous month, marking the lowest level since March.

In June 2025, Taiwan's foreign exchange reserves stood at USD 598.43 billion.
