Welthandel: Chinas September-Außenhandel übertrifft Erwartungen deutlich
Chinas Exportmotor läuft weiter auf Hochtouren. Neben den Ausfuhren stiegen im September auch die Einfuhren deutlich an und übertrafen die Erwartungen.
China's September foreign trade has significantly exceeded expectations. Exports rose by 36.3 percent compared to the same month last year when calculated in US dollars, while imports increased by 31 percent, according to Beijing's customs authority. Analysts had previously forecast a 25 percent surge in exports and up to 24.5 percent growth in imports.
German trade saw exports increase notably by 31.4 percent in September, while imports remained flat with a 0.1 percent gain from the previous year. China's foreign trade surplus widened to 938.11 billion US dollars (approximately 836.9 billion euros) over the first three quarters, and it is on track to surpass the previous record of 1.2 trillion US dollars.
European partners have been urging Beijing to address the trade imbalance for some time. A catalyst for the September exports was the surge in artificial intelligence, leading to increased demand for certain intermediate products such as circuits and memory media, according to customs officials.
