At the end of January this year, China's foreign exchange (forex) reserves were worth $3.2193 trillion, down by $18.7 billion, or 0.58 per cent, month on month, according to data released recently by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE).

The decrease was primarily due to developments like a rise in the US dollar index and mixed global financial asset prices, SAFE said in a statement.

Factors like stable production and booming holiday consumption have kept Chinese economic operations stable in general, a state-controlled media outlet reported.
