Export Growth Outlook - China's export growth is expected to exceed market expectations in the second half of 2025, with projected growth rates of 5.9% and 1.0% for Q3 and Q4 respectively, leading to an annual growth rate of 4.6%, which is 1.6 percentage points higher than market expectations[1] - The contribution of net exports to GDP is projected to be approximately 0.3 percentage points higher than expected due to the stronger export performance[1] Emerging Markets Impact - High export growth to emerging markets like ASEAN and Africa is driven not only by "export grabbing" but also by actual demand from these regions, as indicated by their manufacturing PMI remaining above the growth threshold[2] - For the first seven months of 2025, China's exports to ASEAN, Africa, and the EU increased by 13.6%, 24.4%, and 7.3% respectively, reflecting a diversification in export markets[3] Trade Relations and Tariff Uncertainty - The uncertainty surrounding US-EU tariffs is likely to support improved trade relations between China and the EU, with expectations of sustained export resilience to the EU in the second half of the year[3] - The new tariff framework has limited impacts on re-export trade, as most adjustments remain below the current tariffs imposed on China[2] US Economic Policy Influence - The US is expected to maintain a loose monetary policy, with projections of a 150 basis point rate cut to around 3% by the end of 2026, which will support external demand for Chinese exports[4] - The "Great Beautiful Act" is projected to increase US economic output by 1.21% over the next 30 years, with significant positive impacts on GDP growth in the years 2026-2028[4] Risks and Considerations - There are risks associated with the uncertainty of US tariff policies, which could affect China's export outlook[4] - High-frequency data should be interpreted cautiously, as they need to be aligned with leading indicators like the PMI new orders index to avoid prediction errors[4]
