On June 16th, China's State Council Information Office held a press conference to release the national economic performance for May of 2025. Specifically, the total value added of the industrial enterprises above the designated size grew by 5.8% year-on-year and 0.61% month-on-month. The Index of Services Production rose by 6.2% year-on-year. Total retail sales of consumer goods reached 4,132.6 billion yuan, up 6.4% year-on-year. The total value of goods imports and exports stood at 3,809.8 billion yuan, a 2.7% increase, with exports rising by 6.3% to 2,276.7 billion yuan and imports declining by 2.1% to 1,533.1 billion yuan.

Fu Linghui, spokesperson and director-general of the Department of Comprehensive Statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics, noted that according to market data, the PMI new export orders indexfor the global manufacturing sector remained below the 50 percent threshold in May, marking two consecutive months of contraction. Against this backdrop, China's goods trade maintained growth, reflecting strong international competitiveness and resilience in foreign trade.

In terms of trade partners, while imports and exports with the US declined, trade with ASEAN, the EU, and the Belt and Road partner countries continued to grow, demonstrating positive progress in diversifying China's foreign trade. The January-May period saw respective increases of 9.1%, 2.9%, and 4.2% in these three markets.

In May, the surveyed urban unemployment rate on average in China was 5%, down 0.1 percentage points from the previous month. The unemployment rate among the labor force of core working-age remained stable, while the youth unemployment rate declined for the third consecutive month, indicating continued stability in employment.

The overall stability in May's employment situation was supported by several factors: first, steady economic growth; second, improved industrial performance. The production indices for wholesale and retail, along with accommodation and catering sectors, grew by 8.4% and 6.2% respectively, showing significant acceleration from April and contributing to employment stability; third, the support of pro-employment policies.
