Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Economic Data Shows a Good Start and Industrial Structure Continues to Upgrade - In January - February, economic data exceeded expectations. Industrial added - value increased by 6.3% year - on - year, fixed - asset investment increased by 1.8% year - on - year, and social consumer goods retail总额 increased by 2.8% year - on - year. The improvement of economic data is consistent with the positive trends of other economic indicators [7][10] - On the production side, strong export demand and pre - holiday rush work by enterprises drove industrial growth to exceed expectations. High - tech manufacturing added - value growth rate increased significantly. On the investment side, fiscal policy and structural monetary policy promoted the increase of investment in infrastructure, manufacturing, and the decline of real estate development investment narrowed. On the consumption side, policies such as national subsidies and the long Spring Festival holiday led to the release of consumer demand [10] - There are still concerns about economic growth. The sustainability of endogenous repair momentum needs to be observed, and the US - Iran war may impact exports [2][11] 3.2 Export is Strong and the Spring Festival is Late, Leading to Faster Industrial Production - In January - February, the year - on - year growth rate of industrial added - value was 6.3%, and the month - on - month growth rate in February was 0.83%, higher than the average of the previous three years. Export growth and pre - holiday rush work by enterprises due to the late Spring Festival promoted industrial production [12] - High - tech industries and export - related industries had high added - value growth rates, while the growth rates of upstream metal smelting industries were generally low.

Infrastructure investment growth rate rebounded significantly, mainly due to the front - loaded fiscal policy. In the future, infrastructure growth rate is expected to be higher than last year [24][25] - Manufacturing investment growth rate also improved significantly, mainly due to the effect of policy financial instruments and other factors. In the future, the investment growth rate of high - tech industries is expected to be high, and the main risk is the weakening of external demand [28] - Although most real - estate data are weak, there are also some positive changes, such as the narrowing of the decline in real - estate development investment and the increase in the price of new and second - hand houses in 70 large and medium - sized cities. However, the sustainability of the improvement in real - estate data is not high [31][32] 3.5 Inflation Pressure Increases and the Bond Market is Temporarily Weak - The strong domestic economic indicators are negative for the bond market. The war has a negative impact on the bond market, with the market's concern about inflation being stronger than that about stagnation in the short term [35] - Short - term bond varieties perform better than long - term ones.

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the decline in China's export share of global trade despite the importance of exports in driving economic growth, attributing this to factors such as currency depreciation and low export prices. However, when excluding these factors, China's export volume share is increasing, indicating a strong potential for future growth in export contributions to GDP [3][7][9]. Group 1: Trends in China's Export Share - China's export share of global trade peaked at 14.9% in 2021 but has been below this level from 2022 to 2025, with a projected recovery starting in 2026 [3][6]. - The analysis indicates that the decline in export share is primarily due to the impact of export prices and exchange rates, while the volume of exports continues to grow [7][9]. - The article predicts that by 2030, China's export share will stabilize around 17%, suggesting a potential increase of over 2 percentage points from current levels [5][86]. Group 2: Factors Influencing Export Growth - The article identifies three main factors supporting the increase in China's export volume share: 1. Accelerated industrial upgrading leading to a higher proportion of high-value-added products in exports [14][16]. 2. Continuous price declines in Chinese export products due to a "strong supply, weak demand" environment, enhancing competitiveness [16][18]. 3. The "Belt and Road" initiative diversifying export markets and mitigating external shocks [18][21]. Group 3: Currency and Price Dynamics - The article notes that since 2022, there has been a divergence between China's trade surplus and the actual effective exchange rate of the yuan, with expectations of yuan appreciation in the future [4][59]. - Factors limiting further declines in export prices include potential trade friction risks, optimization of export tax policies, and the linkage between domestic and foreign sales prices [43][49][52]. - The yuan's exchange rate is expected to appreciate gradually, supported by strong export performance and increased use of the yuan in international trade [61][72]. Group 4: Quantitative Assessment of Export Share - A quantitative assessment indicates that China's export share is expected to rise from 14.4% in 2025 to 17% by 2030, reflecting a recovery in export performance and favorable currency dynamics [5][86]. - The analysis suggests that the growth in export volume share will be driven by a combination of factors, including a narrowing of price declines and a stable exchange rate environment [83][84].
