去年12月中國出口增速超預期

China’s exports rose more than expected in December, but import growth slowed dramatically, helping to drive up the country’s trade surplus.

去年12月，中國的出口增長超過預期，但進口增長大幅放緩，幫助推高了中國的貿(mào)易順差。

The dollar value of outbound shipments from China climbed 10.9 per cent year on year in December, slowing from November’s rate of 12.3 per cent but comfortably besting a median forecast of 9.1 per cent growth from economists surveyed by Reuters.

去年12月，中國出口商品的美元價值同比增長10.9%，較11月的12.3%有所放緩，但輕松超過了路透社(Reuters)調(diào)查得出的9.1%的經(jīng)濟學家預測增速中值。

Imports meanwhile grew far less than anticipated, with a year-on-year rise of just 4.5 per cent undershooting expectations of a 13 per cent climb and down substantially from the prior month’s pace of 17.7 per cent.

與此同時，進口增長遠低于預期，同比增幅僅為4.5%，低于預期的13%，較11月17.7%的增速大幅回落。

The divergent trends in trade flows boosted China’s trade surplus by about $14bn from the previous month to $54.7bn at the end of 2017, well above a median forecast of $37bn.

貿(mào)易進出口的不同趨勢，推動中國的貿(mào)易順差從11月的約140億美元增加至2017年底的557億美元，遠高于370億美元的預測中值。
