In recent years, China’s huge foreign exchange reserves (FX reserves) have aroused wide concern and the amount reached to $3.95 trillion as of 2014 March. At present China’s FX reserves are invested in U.S. treasuries and are facing great risk of depreciation due to the QE of America and the European debt crisis. So it’s a key problem of how to allocate the reserve currencies in China. Based on the portfolio theory, Heller-Knight model and Dooley model, combined with the increase in China's economic development and foreign exchange reserves, this paper demonstrates in details the currency selection and allocation of foreign exchange reserves.
