China: Trade prospects look solid - UOB
FXStreet reports that Ho Woei Chen, CFA, an economist at UOB Group, reviews the recent trade results in the Chinese economy.
“China’s Jan-Feb exports and imports were both above market’s expectations. In USDterms, exports surged by 60.6% y/y (Bloomberg est: +40.0% y/y; Dec: 18.1% y/y) while imports rose 22.2% y/y (Bloomberg est: +16.0% y/y; Dec: 6.5% y/y) YTD.”
“A number of factors have contributed to the stronger-than-expected trade numbers including a low base of comparison, improving demand and domestic travel restrictions that would have allowed factories to resume production faster post-Lunar New Year holidays.”
“Overall, China’s trade in Jan-Feb is consistent with continued economic recovery which is being led by improving external demand where exports have outperformed the recovery in imports so far. Pent-up demand and vaccination rollout worldwide will likely provide further support to the growth recovery in China this year while downside risks include pandemic resurgence and USChina trade tensions which could limit the export expansion ahead."
"We maintain our GDP growth forecast for China at 8.5% in 2021 (2020: 2.3%).”
