According to the statistics by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), by the end of March 2024, China’s foreign exchange reserves totaled USD 324.57 billion, up by USD 19.8 billion or 0.62% from February 2024.

In March 2024, the US dollar index rose, while global financial asset prices also increased in general, influenced by factors such as monetary policy expectations and macroeconomic data in major economies. China’s foreign exchange reserves increased this month due to the combined effects of currency translation and changes in asset prices. The momentum of China’s economic recovery continues to consolidate and strengthen, with the underlying fundamentals for its long-term growth remaining unchanged. This will provide support for the stability of China’s foreign exchange reserves.
