China’s export growth unexpectedly picked up speed in July, offering an encouraging boost to the economy as its struggles to recover from a sharp, Covid-induced slump, though imports remained sluggish.

Outbound shipments grew 18.0% in July from a year earlier, the fastest pace this year, official customs data showed on Sunday, compared with a 17.9% rise in June and beating analysts’ expectations for a 15.0% gain.

Analysts had expected exports to fade amid growing signs of cooling global consumption.
