According to the statistics released by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), by the end of February 2026, China's foreign exchange reserves totaled USD 3.4278 trillion, up by USD 28.7 billion or 0.85% from the end of January 2026.

In February 2026, driven by factors such as the macroeconomic data, monetary policies, and expectations of major economies, the US dollar index increased 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 maintains stability and makes steady progress, advancing towards innovation-driven, and high-quality development. The underlying conditions and fundamental trends sustaining China's long-term growth remain unchanged, which are conductive to the stabilization of foreign exchange reserves.
