Citi Expects Strong CN Exports to Be Key to Econ Growth This Yr, Targets USD/CNY at 6.8 in Next 6-12 Mths
2026-01-15 14:37:45
China's trade performance was strong at the end of last year, with both imports and exports beating expectations, Citi Research issued a research report saying. On an annual basis, exports grew by 5.5% to US$3.8 trillion, while trade surplus reached US$1.2 trillion, both setting new records in modern history.

Citi Research believed that China's robust exports will further increase the likelihood of achieving a 5% GDP growth, and it is likely to continue to be a key driver of economic growth this year.

The broker forecasted that USD/CNY will be around 6.8 in the next 6-12 months. Solid economic data and heightened market sentiment are boosting the equity market, which may delay cuts in interest rates/ RRR. Citi Research also believed that a reduction in LPR may still occur in 1Q26, but it may not happen next week.
