In May 2023, influenced by factors, including expectations for the fiscal and monetary policies of major economies, global macroeconomic data, the US dollar index rose, while the prices of various global financial assets were mixed. China’s foreign exchange reserves declined this month due to the combined effects of factors like exchange rate translation, asset price changes, etc. However, China’s economy continues to pick up and sustains a sound momentum, which is conducive to the overall stability of the foreign exchange reserves.
