Forex purchases by banks rose 4 percent month on month in May, while sales dropped by 7 percent, leading to a net forex settlement surplus of $6.2 billion, the country's forex regulator said Thursday.

This ended net forex settlement deficits seen in the previous three months, with April reporting a net deficit of $11 billion.
