China’s exports and imports both fell in September from a year earlier, though they contracted at a slower pace even as global demand remained muted.
Customs data released on Friday showed exports for September slid 6.2 per cent to USD 299.13 billion, the fifth straight month of decline. Imports also slid 6.2 per cent to USD 221.43 billion.
China posted a trade surplus of USD 77.71 billion, up from USD 68.36 billion in August.
