In August, the settlement exchange rate (the ratio of customers' foreign exchange sales to banks to customers' foreign exchange income), which measures their willingness to settle foreign exchange, was 71%, 3 percentage points higher than the monthly average since this year, indicating that market entities maintained a rational trading mode of "settlement at high prices" and their willingness to settle foreign exchange was enhanced; The rate of foreign exchange sales (the ratio of customers' foreign exchange purchases from banks to customers' foreign exchange expenditures), which measures their willingness to sell foreign exchange, is 67%, basically the same as the monthly average since this year, and the willingness of market entities to purchase foreign exchange is generally stable.

The situation of foreign investors investing in domestic bonds and stock markets continued to improve, highlighting the long-term investment value of China's market and RMB assets. Wang Chunying said that the current international situation is complex and severe, and the world economic growth has slowed down significantly. China has effectively coordinated epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development. A package of policies and measures to stabilize the economy has been put into effect. The national economy has continued to recover, and the fundamentals of long-term improvement have not changed. At the same time, China's balance of payments structure has become more stable, the market-oriented adjustment mechanism has become increasingly mature, foreign exchange market participants have become more rational, and the comprehensive ability to cope with changes in the external environment has been further improved, laying a solid foundation for the smooth operation of China's foreign exchange market.
