China's trade surplus soars 85.5 percent to record in June
BEIJING - China's trade surplus soared 85.5 percent to hit an all-time high in June, official data showed Tuesday, setting the stage for an enormous full-year figure that is sure to inflame tensions with the United States and Europe.
The surplus hit a monthly record of 26.91 billion dollars as exporters rushed to beat new curbs that went into place on July 1.
Exports for June totalled 103.27 billion dollars and imports were 76.36 billion dollars, the customs administration said in a statement on its website.
China posted a trade surplus of 112.53 billion dollars in the first six months of 2007 it said, without giving comparative data.
But based on previously released figures, the June surplus was 85.5 percent higher than the same month last year and the six-month figure was 83.1 percent larger than the corresponding period in 2006.
The June surplus far exceeded the previous monthly record high of 23.83 billion dollars set in October last year.
Although the June figure was partly due to businesses rushing to beat the new curbs on exports, analysts said China would inevitably come under more global pressure as the surplus ballooned throughout the rest of the year.
China's top economic planning said in May that the trade surplus was likely to hit 300 billion dollars in 2007, up from a record 177.5 billion dollars last year and a massive increase from 31.98 billion dollars in 2004.
The surplus has been a constant source of friction with its major trading partners, mainly the United States and the European Union.
Beijing has been routinely accused of keeping the Chinese currency artificially low to make its goods cheaper, giving its exporters an unfair competitive edge said Robert Subbaraman, analyst at Lehman Brothers in Hong Kong.
„This level of trade surplus is unprecedented for China or any other major economy in the world,” Goldman Sachs economist Hong Liang said.
