In 2014, China foreign exchange reserves were amounted to 3,9 $ trillion according to data world bank.[1] They hold the highest foreign exchange reserve in the world.
In December, the colossal Chinese foreign exchange reserves declined record, falling to their lowest level in first-ever year, according to official figures released Thursday 7 of January. This drop came from a very high bill due to sales of massive dollars in which Beijing’s aim was to support the value of the yuan.
According to the Peoples’ Bank of China, China currency hoard fall by a record 108 $ billion and is now 3,33 $ trillion USD in December. The reserves fell by more than half a trillion dollars (500 billion) in 2015: they reaches their biggest decline record.
On Thursday the yuan has reached its lower value for 5 years. It was due to unusual low reference rates of the BPOC. In order to stabilize its currency china set up a new yuan index in December. This index is composed of 13 currencies as opposed to what was happening before when the yuan was indexed only on the US dollar.
The depreciation of the Yuan contributes to the weakening of Chinese shares leading to a plunged of 7.2% of the Chinese Stock Exchange (China’s CSI 300 Index) on Thursday 7th January.
