Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 7 (Reporter Liu Kaixiong) According to data released by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the 7th, as of the end of September 2020, my country's foreign exchange reserves amounted to 3142.6 billion U.S. dollars, a decrease of 22 billion U.S. dollars or 0.7% from the end of August.
Wang Chunying, deputy director and spokesperson of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, said that in September, in the international financial market, due to the repeated outbreaks of new crown pneumonia overseas, major countries' monetary and fiscal policies and other factors, the US dollar index rose slightly, and asset prices were mixed.
"With the combined effect of exchange rate conversion and asset price changes, the scale of foreign exchange reserves declined in the month."
