FX.co ★ China Imports Rise Less than Expected

In June 2025, China experienced a year-on-year increase of 1.1% in imports, amounting to USD 210.4 billion. This uptick reversed the 3.4% decline observed in the previous month and marked the first instance of growth for the year. Despite this positive movement, the result fell just short of market expectations, which predicted a 1.3% rise. Over the first half of the year, China's imports saw a decrease of 3.9%, totaling USD 1.22 trillion.
