In July, Chinese exports to Brazil reached US$6.35 billion (+4.3% from June), driven largely by electric and hybrid cars, while imports from Brazil rose 5.2% to US$11.4 billion, mainly oil and soybeans. Year-to-date, Chinese exports to Brazil fell 3.0% to US$40.4 billion, and imports from Brazil dropped 12.1% to US$60.6 billion, reflecting lower prices. Globally, China’s July exports grew 7.2% and imports 4.1%, with ASEAN as its top partner, followed by the EU and the U.S. Trade with Belt and Road countries rose 5.5%.
