China’s foreign-exchange reserves rose slightly in October, marking the third consecutive month of increases and beating market expectations for a decline, official data showed Friday.
The country’s foreign exchange increased by $4.7 billion from the previous month to $3.343 trillion, according to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange.
Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had expected the reserves to drop to $3.327 trillion at the end of October $3.339 trillion in the prior month.
The rise reflected the combined effects of exchange-rate conversions and asset price changes amid a strong U.S. dollar, China’s forex regulator said.
