China is now the fifth biggest holder of gold reserves in the world, with only six countries having a holding of more than 1,000 tons, Hu Xiaolian, head of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, told Xinhua in an interview.

The new figure represents an increase of 454 tons from 600 tons in 2003, the last time China announced an adjustment of its gold holdings.

The country adjusted its holding of gold reserves twice this century. It raised its holding from 394 tons to 500 tons in 2001, and to 600 tons in 2003, Hu said.

He added that China has reported the change in its gold holdings to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The country would include the latest adjustment later in the balance of payments statistics and central bank reports, she added.
