In August 2026, the monthly value of China's international service trade debit recorded -4,268.29 (100 million RMB), expanding significantly from the previous value of -3,935.14 (100 million RMB). The summer outbound travel boom and the import demand for knowledge-intensive services are the key drivers behind the increased expenditure. Institutions believe that despite the widening service debit, a robust goods surplus continues to ensure a solid current account, providing support for the RMB.
