News Date: August 18, 2024

A central bank official announced on Friday that Taiwan holds around 422 tonnes of gold in reserve, managed by the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) to support the national currency.
Of this, 410 tonnes are dedicated to backing the issuance of New Taiwan dollars, while a smaller portion is used every four years to mint commemorative coins for the inauguration of the president and vice president.
As of the first quarter of 2024, Taiwan ranks 12th globally in gold reserves.
Despite a significant increase in gold's value since its purchase in the 1970s, the central bank is not buying or selling its reserves.
Taiwan's unrealized gain from these reserves is nearly NT$900 billion due to gold's appreciation.
