The change in reserve assets under China's financial account in Q4 2025 recorded USD -5.681 billion (representing a real increase in assets), strongly reversing the substantial decrease of USD 11.772 billion in the previous quarter. This was primarily attributed to the valuation effect driven by the decline of the US Dollar Index at the end of the year, as well as the safeguard of a strong current account surplus. Looking ahead to 2026, under the trend of enterprises expanding overseas and diversified asset allocation, the overall balance of payments is expected to maintain a basic equilibrium.
