According to the statistics released by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), by the end of April 2026, China’s foreign exchange reserves totaled USD 3.4105 trillion, up by USD 68.4 billion or 2.05% from the end of March 2026.

In April 2026, driven by factors such as the macroeconomic data, and the monetary policies and expectations of major economies, the US dollar index fell and global financial assets prices exhibited mixed performance. China’s foreign exchange reserves increased this month due to the combined effects of currency translation and changes in asset prices. China constantly consolidated and expands trends of steady economic growth with development resilience and vitality further strengthened, which is conducive to the stabilization of foreign exchange reserves.
