Macro

2026-08-07

Description

China Central Bank Foreign Currency Reserve is published by the People's Bank of China (PBOC) to measure the total amount of foreign currency assets held by China's central bank. Foreign currency reserves are crucial assets used by the central bank to address balance of payments imbalances, stabilize exchange rates, and support financial stability. An increase in foreign currency reserves typically indicates a strong trade surplus and capital inflows, while a decrease may reflect capital outflows or foreign exchange interventions by the central bank to stabilize the exchange rate.

Latest data shows that China's Q3 2026 (2026-07-01) foreign exchange reserves reached 34,187.76 hundred million USD, a slight increase of 25.14 hundred million USD from the previous value. Benefiting from the exchange rate translation effect brought by a weaker US dollar index and robust export performance, the scale of foreign reserves remained at a high level. Looking ahead, amid global monetary policy divergence, diversified asset allocation and gold holdings increases will continue to provide defensive resilience for the foreign exchange market.
