SHANGHAI, June 17 (Xinhua) -- Overseas assets of China's domestic business entities exceeded 8 trillion U.S. dollars by the end of 2025, Zhu Hexin, head of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, said on Wednesday at the 2026 Lujiazui Forum in Shanghai.

China has continued to improve its capital account opening-up policies in recent years, supporting two-way growth in cross-border capital flows and a more optimized investment structure, Zhu said.
