China’s foreign exchange reserves have fallen to their lowest level in more than three years, the central bank said, as Beijing sells dollars to stop the yuan from depreciating further.
The world’s largest currency hoard shrank by $99.5 billion in January to some $3.2 trillion, the People’s Bank of China said on its website, the lowest since May 2012.
Worries about China’s economy have pushed the yuan to a five-year low. The country saw its first-ever annual decline in foreign exchange reserves last year as Beijing tried to prevent a more drastic devaluation.
The PBoC is selling dollars to buy yuan amid a capital flight spurred by the slowing growth in the world’s second largest economy.
