Its a very rare event indeed when China's economic growth number misses the median estimate. Certainly not today.

Q1 2022 GDP:

+1.3% q/q

  • expected 0.6%, prior 1.6%

+4.8% y/y

  • expected 4.4%, prior 4.0%

Also published today are the 'activity' data for March. I'll post that info separately.
