China’s March Trade Flows Diverge: Exports Slow, Imports Surge
TL;DR Summary
China’s exports rose 2.5% year-on-year in March, missing estimates, while imports jumped 27.8%—the strongest growth since November 2021—pushing the overall trade surplus down about 3%; analysts attribute the divergence to weaker global demand amid Middle East tensions and higher energy costs, with first-quarter GDP expected around 4.8% in Reuters polls.
