China's foreign trade figures continued to fall in August, but their downward rate slowed, the General Administration of Customs (GAOC) said Friday.

The total value of imports and exports for August was $191.7 billion, a decrease of 20.6 percent compared with the same month last year, but a 2.3 percent increase from July.

Imports stood at $88 billion, a decrease of 17 percent compared with the same month last year, an increase of 3.4 percent from July.

Exports dropped 23.4 percent from a year earlier to $103.7 billion but their value rose 1 percent from July.

From January to August, the country's imports and exports totalled $1.34 trillion, down 22.4 percent compared with the same period last year.

Imports dropped 22.7 percent from a year earlier to 607.92 billion yuan, while exports declined 22.2 percent to $730.74 billion.

Trade surplus stood at $122.82 billion in the first eight months, representing a decrease of 19 percent over the same period last year.

The GAOC said exports of labor-intensive products witnessed a slower rate of decline compared with other goods categories.

In the first eight months, taking garment, textile and whiteware sectors as examples, export values dropped 10.4 percent, 14.9 percent, and 20.6 percent, respectively.

Zhuang Jian, a senior economist with Asian Development Bank, said the trade figures reflected China's foreign trade still being weak amid a slowdown in international demand, but it had shown signs of recovery.

"As the country's economy is on a track of recovery boosted by stimulus measures, foreign trade is expected to improve gradually, " said Zhuang.
