Q: The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) has just released the latest data on China's foreign exchange reserves. Could you explain why China's foreign exchange reserves changed in August 2020? What will be the future trends? A: By the end of August 2020, China's foreign exchange reserves had amounted to US$ 3.1646 trillion, up by US$ 10.2 billion or 0.3% month on month. China's foreign exchange market remained stable in August, with supply and demand being in balance. In global financial markets, due to monetary policy expectations and macroeconomic data in major economies, non-US dollar currencies picked up against the US dollar, and asset prices diverged. Under the combined impacts of exchange rate conversion and asset price changes, China's foreign exchange reserves increased in August. Currently, the COVID-19 pandemic has not yet been fully under control, and there are still many destabilizing factors and uncertainties in the global economic and financial sectors. However, China's economy is recovering steadily and continuously developing towards the brighter side, and it stays committed to deepening reforms and expanding opening-up. The new development pattern, featured as domination by domestic cycle and mutual promotion between domestic and international cycle, is expected to take shape with a faster pace. Those factors above will provide continued support for the general stability of foreign exchange reserves. 2020-09-07/en/2020/0907/1749.html

As shown in the statistics of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), in August 2020, the amount of foreign exchange settlement and sales by banks was RMB 1106.2 billion and RMB 1132.8 billion, respectively, with a deficit of RMB 26.5 billion. In the US dollar terms, the amount of foreign exchange settlement and sales by banks was USD 159.6 billion and USD 163.4 billion, respectively, with a deficit of USD 3.8 billion. During January to August 2020, the accumulative amount of foreign exchange settlement and sales by banks was RMB 9015.5 billion and RMB 8506.7 billion, with an accumulative surplus of RMB 508.8 billion. In the US dollar terms, the accumulative amount of foreign exchange settlement and sales by banks was USD 1285.2 billion and USD 1213.0 billion, with an accumulative surplus of USD 72.2 billion. In August 2020, the amount of cross-border receipts and payments by non-banking sectors was RMB 2473.9 billion and RMB 2385.5 billion, respectively, with a surplus of RMB 88.4 billion. During January to August 2020, the accumulative amount of cross-border receipts and payments by non-banking sectors was RMB 18799.7 billion and RMB 18629.6 billion, respectively, with an accumulative surplus of RMB 170.1 billion. In the US dollar terms, in August 2020, the amount of cross-border receipts and payments by non-banking sectors was USD 356.8 billion and USD 344.1 billion, respectively, with a surplus of USD 12.7 billion. During January to August 2020, the accumulative amount of cross-border receipts and payments by non-banking sectors was USD 2679.7 billion and USD 2655.5 billion, respectively, with an accumulative surplus of USD 24.2 billion. In addition, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange revised the data on cross-border receipts and payments by non-banking sectors from January to July 2020 based on the latest data, and released it through the “Data and Statistics” section of the official website of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. Addendum: Glossary and relevant definitions Balance of payments (BOP) refers to all economic transactions between residents and non-residents. Foreign exchange settlement and sales by banks refers to settlement and sale transaction that bank executes for customers and for the banks themselves, including statistic data on settlements of forward contracts for foreign exchange settlement and sales and the exercises of option, and excluding the transactions in the interbank foreign exchange market. The statistic reporting date of Foreign exchange settlement and sales by banks should be the trade day of the Foreign exchange settlement and sales transaction. By definition, foreign exchange settlement means foreign exchange holders sell foreign exchange to designated foreign exchange bank, and foreign exchange sales means designated bank sells foreign exchange to foreign exchange buyers. The net position of foreign exchange settlement and foreign exchange sales could be position squared through transactions on the inter-bank foreign exchange market, and it is one of the major contributors to the country’s foreign exchange reserve fluctuation, though it is not equal to net change in foreign exchange reserves during the same period Unlike the principle of balance-of-payments statistics, which cover the transactions between residents and non-residents, foreign exchange settlement and sales by banks only cover transactions of RMB and foreign currencies between banks and customers or on banks for themselves. The newly signed contract amount of forward foreign exchange settlement and sales refers to the binding forward contract between designated foreign exchange bank and client that predetermines foreign exchange currency, amount, exchange rate and tenor which to be executed upon maturity. The newly signed forward contract enables corporate to lock in advance the exchange rate for the purchase or sale of a currency on a future date to manage relevant foreign exchange risk arising from RMB volatility. In general, bank will hedge its foreign exchange risk exposures arise from the newly signed forward contract in the Interbank foreign exchange market. For example, when bank has net foreign exchange long position, bank will short the equivalent amount of foreign exchange in the Interbank foreign exchange market in advance, or vice versa. Therefore, the newly signed contract amount of forward foreign exchange settlement and sales is also one of contributors to China’s foreign exchange reserve fluctuation. The unwind amount of forward foreign exchange settlement and sales refers to, where client is unable to perform the original forward contract due to change in its real demand, client to fully or partially close its forward position by executing another deal with opposite direction to the original contract. The rolling amount of forward foreign exchange settlement and sales refers to client to adjust the settlement date of original contract due to change in its real demand. The outstanding amount of forward foreign exchange settlement and sales by the end of the current period refers to the total amount of forward contracts accumulated from all non-matured forward contracts with client. The newly signed contract amount and the outstanding amount should satisfy the equation that: the outstanding amount of forward foreign exchange settlement and sales by the end of the current period = the outstanding amount of forward foreign exchange settlement and sales at the end of the previous period + the newly signed contract amount of forward foreign exchange settlement and sales for the period - settlements of forward contracts for foreign exchange settlement and sales for the period - the unwind amount of forward foreign exchange settlement and sales for the period. The net Delta exposure of outstanding options refers to the implied foreign exchange spot risk exposure from outstanding option contracts that bank executed with client. Bank shall hedge such risk in the foreign exchange market for risk management during deal life cycle. The cross-border receipts and payments by non-banking sectors refers to the receipts and payments between domestic non-banking sectors (including institutional and individual residents) and non-residents through domestic banks, excluding receipts and payments in cash. In particular, the statistics includes cross-border receipts and payments between non-banking sectors and non-residents through domestic banks (including RMB and foreign currency), and domestic receipts and payments between non-banking sectors and non-residents through domestic banks (temporarily excluding domestic receipts and payments in RMB between individual residents and non-resident individuals). Data are collected when customers conduct receipts and payments with non-resident counterparties at domestic banks. Specifically, the receipts refer to the capital of non-banking sectors received from non-residents via domestic banks; the payments refer to the capital of non-banking sectors paid to non-residents via domestic banks. The cross-border receipts and payments by non-banking sectors is based on cash basis, different from the accrual basis required by the Balance of Payments Statistics. The statistics merely reflects the cash flows between non-banking sectors and non-residents and does not include barter transactions or transactions with non-residents conducted by the banks themselves. Therefore, the scope of the statistics is narrower than that of the Balance of Payments Statistics. 2020-09-18/en/2020/0918/1750.html

国家外汇管理局统计数据显示，2020年8月，银行结汇11062亿元人民币，售汇11328亿元人民币，结售汇逆差265亿元人民币；按美元计值，银行结汇1596亿美元，售汇1634亿美元，结售汇逆差38亿美元。 2020年1-8月，银行累计结汇90155亿元人民币，累计售汇85067亿元人民币，累计结售汇顺差5088亿元人民币；按美元计值，银行累计结汇12852亿美元，累计售汇12130亿美元，累计结售汇顺差722亿美元。 2020年8月，银行代客涉外收入24739亿元人民币，对外付款23855亿元人民币，涉外收付款顺差884亿元人民币。2020年1-8月，银行代客累计涉外收入187997亿元人民币，累计对外付款186296亿元人民币，累计涉外收付款顺差1701亿元人民币。 按美元计值，2020年8月，银行代客涉外收入3568亿美元，对外付款3441亿美元，涉外收付款顺差127亿美元。2020年1-8月，银行代客累计涉外收入26797亿美元，累计对外付款26555亿美元，累计涉外收付款顺差242亿美元。 国家外汇管理局根据最新获得的数据，修订了2020年1-7月涉外收付款数据，并通过国家外汇管理局官方网站“统计数据”栏目公布。 附：名词解释和相关说明 国际收支是指我国居民与非居民间发生的一切经济交易。 银行结售汇是指银行为客户及其自身办理的结汇和售汇业务，包括远期结售汇履约和期权行权数据，不包括银行间外汇市场交易数据。银行结售汇统计时点为人民币与外汇兑换行为发生时。其中，结汇是指外汇所有者将外汇卖给外汇指定银行，售汇是指外汇指定银行将外汇卖给外汇使用者。结售汇差额是结汇与售汇的轧差数。银行结售汇形成的差额将通过银行在银行间外汇市场买卖平盘，是引起我国外汇储备变化的主要来源之一，但其不等于同期外汇储备的增减额。 银行结售汇不按居民与非居民交易的原则进行统计，且其仅包括银行与客户及其自身之间发生的本外币买卖，即人民币和外汇的兑换交易，不同于国际收支交易的统计范围。 远期结售汇签约是指银行与客户协商签订远期结汇（售汇）合同，约定将来办理结汇（售汇）的外汇币种、金额、汇率和期限；到期外汇收入（支出）发生时，即按照远期结汇（售汇）合同订明的币种、金额、汇率办理结汇（售汇）。远期结售汇业务使得企业可提前锁定未来结汇或售汇的汇率，从而有效规避人民币汇率变动的风险。银行一般会通过银行间外汇市场来对冲远期结售汇业务形成的风险敞口。比如，当银行签订的远期结汇大于远期售汇时，银行一般会将同等金额的外汇提前在银行间外汇市场卖出，反之亦然。因而远期结售汇也是影响我国外汇储备变化的一个因素。 远期结售汇平仓是指客户因真实需求背景发生变更、无法履行资金交割义务，对原交易反向平盘，了结部分或全部远期头寸的行为。 远期结售汇展期是指客户因真实需求背景发生变更，调整原交易交割时间的行为。 本期末远期结售汇累计未到期额是指银行与客户签订的远期结汇和售汇合同在本期末仍未到期的余额；差额是指未到期远期结汇和售汇余额之差。签约额与累计未到期额之间的关系为：本期末远期结售汇累计未到期额=上期末远期结售汇累计未到期额+本期远期结售汇签约额-本期远期结售汇履约额-本期远期结售汇平仓额。 未到期期权Delta净敞口是指银行对客户办理的期权业务在本期末累计未到期合约所隐含的即期汇率风险敞口。银行为管理这部分风险敞口，在期权合约存续期间通常会在外汇市场进行对冲。 银行代客涉外收付款是指境内非银行居民机构和个人（统称非银行部门）通过境内银行与非居民机构和个人之间发生的收付款，不包括现钞收付和银行自身涉外收付款。具体包括：非银行部门和非居民之间通过境内银行发生的跨境收付款（包括外汇和人民币），以及非银行部门和非居民之间通过境内银行发生的境内收付款（暂不包括境内居民个人与境内非居民个人之间发生的人民币收付款），统计时点为客户在境内银行办理涉外收付款时。其中，银行代客涉外收入是指非银行部门通过境内银行从非居民收入的款项，银行代客对外支出是指非银行部门通过境内银行向非居民支付的款项。 银行代客涉外收付款是国际收支统计的组成部分，但其统计原则与国际收支采用的权责发生制原则不同，采用资金收付制原则，且其仅反映境内非银行部门与非居民之间的资金流动状况，不能反映实物交易和银行自身的涉外交易，统计范围小于国际收支统计。 2020-09-18/safe/2020/0918/17107.html
