China exports drop more than expected, 7.5pc in value
Date:2024-04-18 Readers:
CHINA's exports declined in March, dealing a blow to hopes that booming sales abroad would offset weak demand at home, reports Caixin.

Exports shrank 7.5 per cent in dollar terms in March from a year earlier, while imports fell 1.9 per cent, said the customs administration.Both numbers are well below economists' forecasts. The trade surplus for the month was almost US$59 billion.



Bright spots in early March data, especially from trade and industry, offered encouragement that China's goal of five per cent economic growth this year was within reach. 

Manufacturers reported an expansion for the first time since September, with new export orders picking up after months of contraction. This week Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley raised their 2024 growth forecasts."

Taking the positive surprise seen earlier this year, we still view that exports should be on a recovering trend, but modestly," said Michelle Lam, Greater China economist at Societe Generale. "The data may also lead to some less aggressive expectations for first-quarter GDP out next week."
