China's exports growth lost steam in November, pressured by a strong yuan, weakening demand and higher costs, but import growth accelerated and came in well above expectations, pointing to stronger domestic activity.
Analysts in a Reuters poll had forecast November exports would increase 19.0% after jumping 27.1% the previous month.Imports were forecast to have risen 19.8%, according to the poll, versus a 20.6% gain in October.
China posted a trade surplus of $71.72 billion last month, compared with the poll's forecast for a $82.75 billion surplus. China reported an $84.54 billion surplus in October. The data comes a day after China's central bank announced a cut to the amount of cash that banks must hold in reserve, its second such move this year, to bolster slowing economic growth.
The country has staged an impressive rebound from the pandemic but there are signs momentum is flagging. Power shortages, regulatory crackdowns and debt troubles in the property sector are weighing on China's recovery.
