Taipei, Dec. 4 (CNA) Taiwan’s foreign exchange reserves decreased by US$2.16 billion to US$424.61 billion as of the end of November, the first monthly drop since April, Taiwan’s central bank said Friday.

Meanwhile, there was a net outflow of US$6.3 billion in foreign funds during the month, the central bank added.
