In April 2026, the year-over-year growth rate of China's general trade imports reached 7.5% for the month. Although slightly slowing down from the previous value of 8.6%, it still recorded a robust performance of four consecutive months of positive growth. Driven by the pull of high-end manufacturing and the technology sector, the imports of specific items such as integrated circuits and iron ore grew strongly, offsetting some of the impact of sluggish domestic demand. In the future, it is necessary to closely monitor the strength of consumer recovery and the potential impact of geopolitics on import momentum.
