Changes in China's foreign exchange reserve assets under the financial account in 2025 dropped to USD 0.0 billion, a significant pullback from USD 61.39 billion in 2024. This indicates that the People's Bank of China maintained a neutral stance in actual foreign exchange transactions. The climb in the annual foreign exchange reserve balance was entirely driven by positive valuation effects such as the depreciation of the US dollar, keeping the balance of payments structure stable.
