China's exports growth rebounded to 14.7% in April

But exports to G3 continued to slide.

According to UBS China Economics, China's exports growth rebounded from 10.0%y/y in March to 14.7%y/y in April, notably stronger than the firm's and market expectations (Bloomberg average 9.2%).

Their estimations show that growth of exports volume picked up from 11.0%y/y in March to 22.6%y/y in April.

Here's more from their report:

Exports to G3 continued to decline by 2.9%y/y in April, though less severely compared with -10.2%y/y in March. Meanwhile, exports to ASEAN jumped up remarkably from 11.6%y/y to 37.2%y/y, and exports to Taiwan advanced further to 49.2%y/y in April.

By contrast, exports to Hong Kong moderated from 92.9%y/y in March to 57.2%y/y in April. On the other hand, exports of most major products saw improvement, with some labour-intensive products (textiles, garments & clothing, footwear, etc) receiving notable gains in value terms in April.

Also exports of plastic articles and steel products contributed to the strength.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
