FX.co ★ China Forex Reserves Highest SInce 2015

In August 2025, China's foreign exchange reserves experienced a significant rise, increasing by USD 29.9 billion or 0.91%, reaching USD 3.322 trillion compared to USD 3.292 trillion in July. This marks the highest level recorded since December 2015. The growth in reserves was primarily driven by the weakening of the U.S. dollar against other major global currencies. During the same period, the yuan appreciated by 0.87% against the dollar, while the dollar itself saw a decline of 2.19% when measured against a basket of major currencies. Additionally, China's gold reserves rose to 74.02 million fine troy ounces by the end of August, up from 73.96 million ounces at the close of July, as the central bank continued its gold purchasing streak for the tenth consecutive month. Consequently, the value of gold reserves increased to USD 254 billion, up from USD 244 billion in the preceding month.
