The SAFE said hot money inflow was small over the past decade with an annual average amount of about $25 billion, accounting for 9 percent of the increase in the nation's foreign reserves per annum.

Capital inflows from overseas were in accordance with the real economy's fundamentals, despite small amounts of illegal hot money inflow.

There have been no large-scale capital inflows to established financial institutions, the SAFE added.
