SAFE Deputy Administrator and Press Spokesperson Wang Chunying Answers Media Questions on Changes in Foreign Exchange Reserves of November 2021

Q: The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) has just released the latest data regarding China’s foreign exchange reserves. Could you explain the causes for the changes in China’s foreign exchange reserves of November 2021? Also, what will be the future trends?

A: By the end of November 2021, China’s foreign exchange reserves stood at US$3.2224 trillion, up by 0.15 percent or US$4.8 billion from the end of October.

In November 2021, China’s foreign exchange market transactions remained active, and cross-border capital flows were generally stable. In the international financial market, affected by factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the expectations of major countries' monetary policies, the US dollar index increased, and bond prices of major countries generally rose as well. The volume of China’s foreign exchange reserves, dominated in the US dollar, grew up this month due to the combined impacts of currency translation and assets price change.

Due to the constant evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global economic recovery is facing more uncertain and unstable factors, and the international financial market is highly volatile. However, owing to coordinated pandemic prevention and control and economic and social development in a scientific way, China’s economic performance was stable and maintained a sustained recovery on the whole, which is conducive to maintaining the overall stability of foreign exchange reserves.
