China’s foreign exchange reserves rose for the fifth consecutive month in June, as stricter capital controls helped stem outflows from the country and a stable yuan encouraged foreign investors to pour more money into the mainland.

Figures published by the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) show FX reserves increased by $3.22 billion to $3.056 trillion at the end of June – up from $3.054 trillion in May and slightly below the market forecasts of $3.061 trillion expected by analysts.
