China’s foreign exchange reserves rose for the sixth consecutive month in July, as tight capital controls and a weaker US dollar helped to stem outflows from the mainland.

Figures published on August 7 by the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) show FX reserves increased by $24 billion to $3.081 trillion at the end of July, up from $3.056 trillion in June – twice as much as analysts expected.

July’s data represents the sixth consecutive monthly rise in FX reserves, which stand at their highest level
