According to the latest data, China's current account primary income deficit in the first quarter of 2026 narrowed to RMB 51.42 billion, a significant improvement from the RMB 175.60 billion recorded in the previous quarter. This data reflects a seasonal decline in the repatriation of profits by foreign companies, driving a further expansion in China's overall current account surplus. Looking ahead, as we enter the traditional peak dividend payment season in the second and third quarters, the deficit scale is expected to widen again, and attention should be paid to changes in external risks.
