In the second quarter of 2026, the increase in China's foreign exchange reserve assets under the financial account expanded to 74.713 billion USD (recorded as -74.713 billion USD in the books), well above the 48.697 billion USD of the previous quarter, marking the largest single-quarter increase in nearly 12 years. This is primarily attributed to a record-breaking goods trade surplus driving massive capital inflows, while the central bank passively bought USD to curb the excessively rapid appreciation pressure on the RMB.
