China: Central Bank Reserve Assets - Foreign Currency

Macro

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.
