The latest data shows that in the fourth quarter of 2025, China's capital account recorded USD -0.579 hundred million, turning negative from a surplus of USD 0.5559 hundred million in the previous quarter. Contrasted with the massive surplus of over USD 2400 hundred million maintained in the current account, the slight deficit in the capital account reflects that under China's strict foreign exchange controls, items such as pure capital transfers are effectively controlled, and the overall cross-border capital flow pattern remains stable.
