According to the statistics released by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), by the end of May 2026, China's foreign exchange reserves totaled USD 3.4422 trillion, up by USD 31.7 billion or 0.93% from the end of April 2026.

In May 2026, driven by factors such as the global macroeconomic environment, and the monetary policies and expectations of major economies, the US dollar index increased and global financial asset prices generally rose. China's foreign exchange reserves increased this month due to the combined effects of currency translation and changes in asset prices. China's economy maintains steady growth with solid progress in high-quality development, which will support the stabilization of foreign exchange reserves.
