We combined foreign reserves, capital control and financial depth with other economic variables in the same model and discussed the factors that affect the demand of China¡¯s foreign reserves. The results showed that 1) a considerable number of foreign reserves are passively accumulated, for instance, stronger capital controls deeper financial system will lower the demand of foreign reserves; 2) the ratio of Hot Money/GDP is more significant than the FDI/GDP as a proxy of foreign reserves¡¯ protective demand.
