China April export value increase Perseverance for future corona impact May 7 14:11
China's exports last month increased by over 3% compared to the same month last year. While reflecting the recovery of corporate production and logistics, there is a strong sense of caution that exports will start to decline again due to the spread of infections overseas.
According to China's customs officials on last month's trade statistics released yesterday, the combined total trade value of exports and imports was $ 35,220 million, down 5% from the same month last year.
Of this, exports were $ 280.28 billion, up 3.5% from the same month last year.
In China, it seems that production and logistics have recovered, as they are urging business activities to resume, basically suppressing the spread of the new coronavirus in Japan.
However, since infection with the new coronavirus continues in Europe and the United States, exports in the future will continue in China, such as a sharp drop in the index regarding orders from overseas in a survey on business sentiment last month. There is also a strong sense of caution that it may start to decline again.
Meanwhile, imports were $ 154,940 million, down 14.2% from the same month last year.
It seems that this reflects the fact that international prices of crude oil and others have fallen sharply recently and that domestic demand is not recovering as expected.
