Substantial Chinese net outflows from US equities and bonds feature in an assessment of de-dollarisation by DBS Group Research, led by FX & Credit Strategist Chang Wei Liang. Examining changes in China’s holdings of US securities over the past decade, the study assesses evidence of de-dollarisation and the influence of geopolitical tensions and sanctions risk on China’s portfolio allocation decisions.
"Given this backdrop, how have foreign holdings of USD assets changed over time, and is there any evidence of a “de-dollarisation” in financial assets?"

"Given the size and importance of China, we examine the trend in Chinese holdings of US securities over the last ten years."
"Chinese net outflows from US equities and bonds over the last decade have been substantial."
"But China’s de-dollarisation is not reflective of any broader trends across other countries."
