新興国 外貨準備が一転減少 金融危機でマネー流出 通貨防衛ドル売り 日本、ユーロで微減

According to sources, in developing coutries and others foreign currency resreves have turned to decrease from the increase trend which was seen until the end of the first half of this year. Among the top ten countries and areas in the world in terms of the balance of foreign curency reserves,Russia's balance decreased by 11% comapred to the August,2008 peak,which is the largest decrease.In the eight countries and areas like South Korea,Brazil,and Japan also,there was some decrease. The main reason is that investment fund money flowed out of developing countries and areas due to the financial crisis which baegan in the U.S., and such developing coutries and areas had to intervene in their own foreign exchange markets by selling the dollar and buyin their own currencies in order to protect their own currencies against the turbulence.Japan's balance of foreign currency reserves also decreased slightly because of the recent weaker euro.
