China’s foreign exchange reserves have dropped below US$3 trillion for the first time since February 2011. At the end of January 2017, reserves stood at at US$2.9982 trillion.

Since reserves peaked in June 2014, China’s monetary authorities have used the equivalent of about US$1 trillion to intervene in markets.
