Foreign investors bring in record-high USD 28.858 billion in forex in 2005

January 17, 2006

Foreign investors performed the inward remittance of USD 28.858 billion in 2005, the highest annual value yet recorded, according to the Financial Supervisory Commission. This major influx of funds is the result of the NTD 719.4 billion buying surplus achieved by foreign investors on the Taiwan Stock Exchange in 2005, a buying spree which left foreign investors with a record-high 31.73% share of the TAIEX at the end of 2005.

Foreign investors also posted a buying surplus of NTD 71 billion on Taiwan's over-the-counter stock market.
