Den kinesiske økonomi voksede i januar og februar langt stærkere, end analytikere forventede. Industriproduktionen steg med 35,1 pct. i forhold til samme periode sidste år, og det var langt mere end stigningen på 7,3 pct. i december. Også forbruget steg kraftigt, med 33,8 pct., mens investeringerne steg med 35 pct. Det understreger, at Kina groft sagt allerede er kommet gennem coronakrisens nedtur sidste år.
China industrial output rises 35.1% y/y in Jan-Feb
China’s industrial output grew 35.1% in January-February from a year ago, faster than the 7.3% gain in December, official data showed on Monday, adding further momentum to a recovery that is set to underpin solid economic growth.
The figure beat a 30.0% on-year surge expected by analysts in a Reuters poll.
Retail sales increased 33.8% from a year earlier in the first two months, compared with a rise of 32% tipped by analysts, marking a significant jump from 4.6% growth in December and after a 20.5% contraction for January-February of 2020.
Fixed asset investment increased 35% in the first two months from the same period a year earlier, slower than a forecast 40.0% jump. That compared with 2.9% on-year growth in 2020, and a 24.5% plunge in January-February last year.
