FX.co ★ China Export Growth at 6-Month Low

In August 2025, China's exports increased by 4.4% compared to the same month last year, reaching USD 321.8 billion. This was below the anticipated 5% rise and represented a slowdown from July's 7.2% growth rate. This was the slowest growth in outbound shipments since February, influenced by a temporary relaxation of tariff pressures and declining demand from its largest consumer market. On August 11, China and the United States agreed to a 90-day extension of their tariff truce, maintaining U.S. tariffs at 30% on Chinese imports and Chinese tariffs at 10% on U.S. goods. Over the first eight months of 2025, China's exports rose by 5.9% year-on-year, amassing a total of USD 2.45 trillion.
