- $61.9 billion in net overseas receipts flowed into China’s onshore banks for clients in April, according to official data released late Monday.
- That reversed March’s $32.1 billion net outflow, which had interrupted a broader run of cross-border inflows.

- The rebound adds to signs of confidence in China’s economy and support for an appreciating yuan.
