FX.co ★ China Imports Drop More than Estimated

In March 2025, China's imports declined by 4.3% compared to the previous year, totaling USD 211.3 billion. This drop surpassed the anticipated 2.0% decrease, although it showed some improvement from the 8.4% reduction observed over January and February. This marked the second consecutive month of contraction, indicating persistent weakness in domestic demand due to the repercussions of elevated U.S. tariffs.
