By the end of July, outstanding Renminbi deposits stood at 23 trillion yuan (US$2.8 trillion) up 17.7 per cent from a year earlier. Of the total, savings in foreign currencies rose by 3.7 billion US dollars to US$153.7 billion, while forex loans outstanding increased by 22.8 per cent to US$133.8 billion.
