Beijing: China's foreign exchange reserves reached $3.3991 trillion at the end of January 2026, showing an increase of $41.2 billion, or 1.23 percent, compared to the end of December 2025, official data indicated on Saturday.

According to Emirates News Agency, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange pointed out that the US dollar index fell in January, while prices of major global financial assets saw an overall rise. These movements were influenced by fiscal and monetary policies as well as market expectations in key economies.

The administration explained that the interplay of exchange rate conversion and changes in asset prices were significant factors contributing to the increase in China's foreign exchange reserves for the month.
