The scale of China's foreign exchange reserves edged down 1.67% month over month in October to $3.261, according to data from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) on Thursday.
The figure fell more than expected as analysts polled by Reuters predicted $3.29 trillion in forex reserves in October, versus $3.316 trillion in September.
SAFE attributed the drop to factors such as exchange rate conversions, and asset price changes.
