According to the statistics released by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), by the end of August 2026, China's foreign exchange reserves totaled USD 3,438.3 billion, up by USD 19.5 billion or 0.57% from the end of July 2026.

In August 2026, driven by factors such as the global macroeconomic data, monetary policies and market expectations of major economies, the US dollar index decreased and global financial asset 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's economy remains generally stable, and steady growth is registered, demonstrating strong resilience and vitality, which will support the stabilization of foreign exchange reserves.
