China’s exports declined less than expected in December, data published by the General Administration of Customs revealed Wednesday.
Exports fell 1.4 percent on a yearly basis in December, slower than the 8 percent decline forecast by economists.
At the same time, imports slid 7.6 percent annually, also slower than the expected decrease of 11 percent.
Consequently, the trade surplus rose to around $60 billion, which was well above a $51.3 billion surplus forecast by economists.
