China’s foreign exchange reserves totaled $3.4422 trillion at the end of May 2026, up $31.7 billion, or 0.93 percent, from April, according to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange.
The increase was influenced by a combination of factors, including exchange rate fluctuations and the rising prices of major global financial assets. The U.S. dollar index strengthened during the month, reflecting broader global macroeconomic and monetary policy developments.
Officials noted that China’s economy continues to maintain steady growth and is making solid progress toward high-quality development. This economic stability underpins the resilience and overall steadiness of the country’s foreign exchange reserves.
