Negative foreign exchange growth points to hot money outflows in April
According to the People's Bank of China, the central bank, funds outstanding for foreign exchange, an indicator used to track monthly foreign exchange growth in mainland China, recorded a negative growth of Rmb60.571bn in April (see chart). We believe this is part of the reason for the central bank's recent RRR cut. If foreign exchange growth continues to be negative in May or only records small positive growth, it will provide the central bank with more incentive to make another RRR cut in near term to address the economic slowdown issue.
