In April, foreign investors purchased net domestic bonds and stocks of 124.7 billion yuan and 45.1 billion yuan respectively. In addition, cross-border foreign currency receipts and expenditures were basically balanced in April, and cross-border net RMB outflows increased, mainly reflecting the impact of relatively low RMB financing costs.
