China’s exports jumped the most in a year and declines in imports narrowed, adding to evidence of stabilization in the world’s second-biggest economy. Overseas shipments rose 11.5% in dollar terms in March from a year earlier, compared with a 25 percent slump in February, when factories and offices were closed for a week-long holiday.
Imports extended declines to 17 months with a 7.6% drop, data showed Wednesday. The trade surplus decreased to $29.9 billion, the least in a year. The export rebound may suggest China’s economy fared better than expected in the first quarter, with data due Friday expected to show a 6.7% expansion for the period.
