TOKYO (Nikkei)-Gold and foreign exchange reserves at the end of December decreased by $7.59 billion from the previous month to $220.79 billion, the first decrease in five months, the Ministry of Finance reported Tuesday. A large intervention by the Bank of Japan caused the drop in foreign reserves. The decrease is the second-largest monthly decline since 1956, after a decline of $8.08 billion in March 1991. The Bank of Japan reportedly spent over $10 billion intermittently intervening in the market as the U.S. dollar surged against the yen. However, Japan has held, for 50 straight months, the highest reserves of any nation. China was second in foreign reserves with $136.6 billion at the end of last September, followed by Taiwan with $86.4 billion as of late September, Germany with $82.1 billion at the end of last October and Singapore with $76.8 billion late last August.
