The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) has recently released data on foreign exchange settlement and sales by banks as well as foreign-related receipts and payments by banks on behalf of clients in October 2021. The SAFE Deputy Administrator and Press Spokesperson Wang Chunying answered media questions on China’s foreign exchange receipts and payments of October 2021. Q: Could you brief us on China’s foreign exchange receipts and payments in October 2021? A: China’s foreign exchange market remained stable in October. In terms of the main indicators, first, the foreign exchange settlement and sales by banks recorded a surplus of US$16.5 billion, roughly at the same level as the monthly average in the third quarter. Second, the foreign-related receipts and payments of non-banking sectors also posted a surplus of US$34.8 billion, increasing from the surplus in September. This was mainly because some enterprises postponed their foreign exchange receipts from trade after the National Day Holiday. In September and October, the monthly average surplus of the foreign-related receipts and payments of non-banking sectors was similar to the monthly average since the second quarter, and the overall cross-border capital flows remained basically stable. Third, by the end of October, China’s foreign exchange reserves stood at US$3.2176 trillion, up by 0.5% from the end of September, mainly affected by currency translation and changes in global asset prices. The foreign exchange market expectations were generally stable. According to the relevant indicators of the foreign exchange market, the expectations of market entities on foreign exchange rates were overall stable, and the rational trading pattern of “buying low and selling high” was maintained. Adjusted for the National Day Holiday factor, in September and October, the monthly average sales ratio (the ratio of foreign exchange sold by clients to banks to their foreign-related foreign exchange receipts) recorded 64%, down by 3% comparing to the average monthly level in the third quarter, indicating that the willingness of market entities to sell foreign exchange was stable with a slight decline; in September and October, the monthly average purchases ratio (the ratio of foreign exchange bought by clients from banks to their foreign-related foreign exchange payments) reached 62%, 1% lower than the average monthly level in the third quarter, indicating that the willingness of market entities to purchase foreign exchange remained stable. Cross-border capital flows through major channels were in a rational and orderly manner. In October, cross-border capital related to the real economy, such as trade in goods and direct investment, maintained a certain scale of net inflows, reflecting the supporting role of steady recovery of the domestic economy; net increase in the domestic bonds and equities held by non-residents totaled US$11.5 billion, which was roughly at the same level as the monthly average in the third quarter. In addition, overseas study payments and profit repatriation from direct investment fell from seasonal peaks and became stable. At present, with COVID-19 pandemic still spreading around the world, the recovery of world economy is uncertain, and some developed economies are gradually exiting from their quantitative easing monetary policies, which makes the external environment more complex and severe. However, China maintains a steady economic recovery, constantly shows development resilience and keeps the basic equilibrium of balance of payments. All these will continue to support the smooth operation of China’s foreign exchange market. 2021-11-19/en/2021/1119/1893.html

Q: The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) has just released the latest data regarding China’s foreign exchange reserves. Can you explain the causes for the changes in foreign exchange reserves of October 2021? What will be the future trends? A: By the end of October 2021, China’s foreign exchange reserves stood at US$3.2176 trillion, up by US$17 billion, or 0.53%, from the end of September. In October 2021, the supply and demand in China’s foreign exchange market remained stable, and the cross-border receipts and payments were rational and orderly. In the international financial market, influenced by factors like the progress of COVID-19 pandemic and the expectations of fiscal and monetary policies of major countries, the US dollar index fell slightly, whereas the financial asset prices of major countries were mixed. China’s foreign exchange reserves, denominated in the US dollar, rose this month due to the combined impacts of currency translation and changes in asset prices. As the COVID-19 pandemic is uninterrupted, the global economic recovery is facing many destabilizing factors, and the international financial market sees high volatility. However, China’s economy continues to recover, with strong resilience and huge potential, which will support the overall stability of China’s foreign exchange reserves. 2021-11-07/en/2021/1107/1892.html

日前，国家外汇管理局公布了2021年10月份银行结售汇和银行代客涉外收付款数据。国家外汇管理局副局长、新闻发言人王春英就2021年10月份外汇收支形势回答了记者提问。 问：2021年10月份我国外汇收支形势如何？ 答：10月份我国外汇市场延续平稳运行态势。从主要指标表现看，一是银行结售汇顺差165亿美元，与三季度月均水平相当。二是非银行部门涉外收支顺差348亿美元，较9月份顺差规模提升，主要受国庆假期影响，部分企业贸易收汇集中在假期后进行。9月至10月非银行部门涉外收支月均顺差规模与二季度以来的月均水平相当，跨境资金流动总体保持基本稳定。三是截至10月末，外汇储备余额为32176亿美元，较9月末增长0.5%，主要受汇率折算和全球资产价格波动等因素影响。 外汇市场预期总体平稳。从外汇市场相关指标看，市场主体汇率预期总体平稳，并且保持“逢高结汇、逢低购汇”的理性交易模式。剔除国庆假期因素，9月至10月的月均结汇率（客户向银行卖出外汇与客户涉外外汇收入之比）为64%，较三季度月均水平下降3个百分点，说明市场主体结汇意愿稳中有降；9月至10月的月均售汇率（客户从银行买汇与客户涉外外汇支出之比）为62%，较三季度月均水平下降1个百分点，说明市场主体购汇意愿保持平稳。 主要渠道跨境资金流动合理有序。10月份，货物贸易和直接投资等实体经济相关的跨境资金保持一定规模净流入，体现了国内经济稳定恢复的支撑作用；非居民净增持境内债券和股票合计为115亿美元，与三季度月均水平相当。此外，跨境留学支出、直接投资利润汇出从季节性高峰回落并趋稳。 当前，新冠肺炎疫情仍在全球蔓延，世界经济复苏存在不确定性，部分发达经济体逐步退出量化宽松货币政策，外部环境更趋复杂严峻。但我国经济保持稳定恢复态势，发展韧性持续显现，国际收支延续基本平衡格局，将继续为外汇市场平稳运行提供支撑。 2021-11-26/gansu/2021/1126/1443.html
