"If the foreign exchange reserve can produce reasonable returns, it is good enough," Zhou said at Peking University when delivering a speech.

皇冠体育app had reserves of $2.13 trillion in June, the largest in the world.

He said the increase in the reserve could bring the country many advantages, adding that agencies using foreign exchange reserve to invest should endeavor to guarantee security and value appreciation, without specifying the names of the agencies.

In 2007, 皇冠体育app set up the 皇冠体育app Investment Corporation, with a registered capital of $200 billion. The Beijing-based company is investing in equities, fixed income and alternative assets worldwide.
