China's foreign exchange reserves stood at $3.4383 trillion at the end of August 2026, up $19.5 billion or 0.57% from the end of July, according to data from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. The increase was driven by a weaker U.S. dollar index and mixed performance in global financial asset prices, reflecting changes in global macroeconomic data and monetary policy expectations of major economies in August. China's economy remained broadly stable with steady progress, demonstrating strong resilience and vitality, which supports the overall stability of the forex reserve scale.
