China Forex Reserves Climb to Largest Since 2015

China’s foreign exchange reserves rose by USD 17 billion to USD 3.339 trillion in September 2025, up from USD 3.322 trillion in August, marking the highest level since November 2015.

The increase came as the dollar weakened against other major currencies.

Gold reserves stood at 74.06 million fine troy ounces at the end of September, up from 74.02 million ounces at the end of August, with the central bank purchasing the precious metal for the eleventh consecutive month.
