The central bank said the increase in forex reserves in November also reflected the euro’s appreciation against the U.S. dollar to boost the total assets, since the European currency is part of the central bank’s assets management portfolio.

It was the eighth consecutive month in which the forex reserves moved higher, the central bank said.
