BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s exports grew 16.9% in May from a year ago, beating analysts’ expectations, while imports rose 4.1%, the first expansion in three months, customs data showed on Thursday.

Analysts in a Reuters poll had expected exports to rise 8% after a 3.9% gain in April.

Imports were expected to rise 2.0% after staying unchanged in the previous month.

China posted a trade surplus of $78.76 billion in May, versus a forecast for a $58 billion surplus in the poll. The country reported a $51.12 billion surplus in April.
