Out-cue: increase in July]
TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting. August was the strongest in 18 months, thanks in part to a low base in August 2023, when exports declined 8.8%. By comparison, imports grew just 0.5% compared to a year ago, falling short of the approximately 2% estimate by economists.

VERBATIM: It’s a sign of growing demand abroad even as imports fell amid a slowing Chinese economy. Data released by China’s customs office showed exports in August expanded by 8.7% to $308.65 billion compared to the same period last year, beating economists’ estimates. The export figures for August were also up from a 7% increase in July.
