China’s export growth likely rebounded in April after March weakness caused by
an early Lunar New Year, according to a Wall Street Journal poll of 13
economists. Exports are forecast to rise 8.0% year-on-year in April,
accelerating from 2.5% growth in March.
Imports are expected to slow to a 16.0% increase from 27.8% previously, leaving
China with a projected April trade surplus of $92.3 billion, the poll showed.
China’s customs bureau is due to release the data on Saturday.
