The series on this page is monthly and runs from Jan 2010 to Sep 2026. Source: State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) — Statistics. Every series in the table can be charted over its full history and downloaded as CSV or Excel.
What do China's cross-border bank receipts and payments measure?
China's cross-border bank receipts and payments data measure international fund transfers executed by domestic banks on behalf of non-bank clients. Compiled by SAFE, they cover inflows, outflows, and net settlements across trade, services, direct investment, and portfolio investment.
Which currencies are tracked in China's cross-border payment statistics?
SAFE records China's cross-border bank transactions in renminbi as well as foreign currencies, detailing breakdowns for the US dollar, euro, Hong Kong dollar, Japanese yen, and other currencies.
Why might total cross-border receipts and payments differ from the sum of underlying accounts?
In SAFE's reporting system for China, aggregate cross-border bank receipts and payments can exceed the sum of itemised transaction accounts due to late reporting declarations and transactions falling below individual reporting thresholds.
