TAIPEI, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Taiwan's foreign exchange reserves
stood at $383.835 billion, a new high, at the end of October, the
central bank said on Friday, citing returns on investments and
gains in the euro and other currencies against the U.S. dollar.
Taiwan's reserves are the world's fourth-largest after China, Japan and Russia.
The central bank said it would maintain order in the forex markets, and reiterated that the increase in reserves in the previous month was not due to 'heavy' intervention.
