State Administration of Foreign Exchange released data on the size of foreign exchange reserves at the end of February 2026.

According to statistics from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, as of the end of February 2026, China's foreign exchange reserves stood at $342.78 billion, an increase of $28.7 billion compared to the end of January, representing a growth rate of 0.85%. In February 2026, the US dollar index rose due to macroeconomic data, monetary policy, and expectations of major economies, causing fluctuations in global financial asset prices. The comprehensive effects of exchange rate conversions and changes in asset prices led to an increase in foreign exchange reserves that month. China's economy continues to make steady progress towards new and better development, and the long-term supportive conditions and basic trends remain positive, helping to maintain the overall stability of foreign exchange reserves.
