Latest data shows that in August 2026, the valuation of China's gold reserves fell to 323.517 billion USD, a significant contraction compared to the previous value of 350.08 billion USD. However, the decline in valuation was mainly affected by the short-term pullback in international gold prices. During the same period, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) increased its physical gold holdings by a massive 740,000 ounces, highlighting that the long-term strategy of reserve diversification remains unchanged.
