According to data released by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the 7th, as of the end of August 2026, China's foreign exchange reserves were US$343.83 billion, up US$19.5 billion from the end of July. In August, the US dollar exchange rate index fell 0.5% to 99.4, and the dollar-denominated hedged global bond index rose 0.1%. As a result, due to a combination of factors such as exchange rate conversion and changes in asset prices, foreign exchange reserves rose by 19.5 billion US dollars month-on-month at the end of August. Regarding the future trend of foreign exchange reserves, experts said that maintaining a basic stability in the size of China's foreign exchange reserves is supported by many factors. Wen Bin, Chief Economist at Minsheng Bank: China's exports are still expected to maintain strong resilience and continue to strengthen China's basic balance of payments market. At the same time, the import growth rate has maintained a high level of 25% or more for five consecutive months. The collaborative growth of imports and exports is conducive to keeping the current account balance within a reasonable equilibrium range. Furthermore, experts said that in terms of cross-border capital flows, a number of capital project liberalization measures were implemented in August.
