Chinese exports remain robust despite weakening global economy

Thanks to demand from the US and EU.

China’s September trade data (both exports and imports) surprised the market on the upside.

According to OCBC Macro Views, External demand from advanced economies remained supportive despite the slowdown in global economy. 

OCBC adds that China’s export by value hit a record high of US$213.6 billion in September. The strong export was mainly supported by improving demand from US and EU. Exports to EU and US went up by 14.9% and 10.8% yoy respectively.

China’s import managed to clock a 7% growth in September after two consecutive contractions in July and August. The imports of Electronic Integrated Circuit grew strongly by 8.9% after falling for the past two months; a sign of improving economic prospects.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
