State Administration of Foreign Exchange released the data of foreign exchange reserves at the end of May 2026.

According to statistics from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), as of the end of May 2026, China's foreign exchange reserves stood at $344.22 billion, an increase of $31.7 billion from the end of April, representing a rise of 0.93%. In May 2026, due to factors such as the global macroeconomic environment and expectations of major economies' monetary policies, the US dollar index rose and global financial asset prices generally increased. The overall increase in the size of foreign exchange reserves that month was a result of the combined effects of exchange rate conversions and changes in asset prices. China's economy maintains a steady and positive development trend, with high-quality development solidly advancing, providing support for the basic stability of the foreign exchange reserve size.
