SEOUL, Oct. 6 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's foreign reserves fell in September to end their three-month rise due to a fall in foreign currency-denominated assets, the central bank said Tuesday.

The country's foreign reserves stood at US$440.56 billion as of end-September, down $1.72 billion from a month earlier, according to data from the Bank of Korea (BOK).

The BOK attributed the fall to a decline in foreign currency deposits held by financial institutions.

Foreign securities, including U.S. Treasuries, fell $1.05 billion from a month earlier to $386.03 billion at end-September, accounting for 87.6 percent of the country's total foreign reserves.

The value of foreign currency deposits declined $350 million to $29.95 billion, while special drawing rights (SDRs) also fell $290 million to $15.77 billion.

Gold bullion holdings remained unchanged at $4.79 billion.

首尔，10月6日（韩联社）——韩国央行周二表示，由于外币计价资产下降，韩国外汇储备在9月份下降，结束了此前连续三个月的上升势头。

根据韩国银行（BOK）的数据，截至9月底，韩国的外汇储备为4405.6亿美元，比上月减少了17.2亿美元。

韩国央行将此次下跌归因于金融机构持有的外币存款减少。

截至9月底，包括美国国债在内的外国证券比上月减少了10.5亿美元，至3860.3亿美元，占该国外汇储备总额的87.6%。

外币存款价值下降 3.5 亿美元，至 299.5 亿美元；特别提款权 (SDR) 也下降 2.9 亿美元，至 157.7 亿美元。

黄金储备维持在47.9亿美元不变。
