China saw a forex settlement surplus of 15.7 billion U.S. dollars in November 2025, official data showed on Friday.

The amount of foreign exchange settlement by banks reached 209.5 billion dollars last month, while sales stood at 193.8 billion dollars, according to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange.

In the first 11 months of the year, the accumulative amount of forex settlement by banks amounted to nearly 2.28 trillion dollars, while sales reached around 2.18 trillion dollars.

In November, the amount of cross-border receipts and payments by non-banking sectors was 654.5 billion dollars and 636.7 billion dollars, respectively, the administration said.

During January to November, the accumulative amount of cross-border receipts and payments by non-banking sectors stood at about 7.15 trillion dollars and 6.96 trillion dollars, respectively, it added.

China's foreign exchange market remained stable in November, while global markets saw high volatility, with the U.S. dollar weakening and major non-U.S. currencies strengthening, according to Li Bin, deputy director and spokesman of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange.
Cross-border transactions remained brisk last month, with non-bank sectors recording 1.3 trillion U.S. dollars in cross-border inflows and outflows, up 8 percent month on month. The cross-border transaction surplus reached 17.8 billion dollars, below the September-October average of 24 billion dollars.

Goods trade remained the main driver of net inflows, while services, investment income and direct investment flows were stable. Securities investment also showed steadier trends in recent weeks.
