Goods Trade Surplus Expands China's Forex Reserves
Adjust font size:

China's massive foreign exchange reserves are mainly the result of a sharp surplus increase in goods trade, according to the latest report from the People's Bank of China.

 

The hefty rise in goods trade surplus is due to China's improving manufacturing capabilities and the country's booming exports supported by the robust global economy, said the report of the central bank.

 

China's foreign exchange reserves reached US$1.066 trillion at the end of 2006.

 

Surplus in foreign direct investment (FDI) under the capital account decreased slightly as Chinese enterprises sped up overseas investment, the report added.

 

Figures with the Ministry of Commerce showed China's actual use of FDI totaled US$69.5 billion in 2006, down 4.1 percent from the previous year.
