The RatingDog China services purchasing managers’ index fell more than expected to 52.1 from 56.7 in February, according to a statement published Friday. The median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg was 53.6, above the 50 mark separating expansion from contraction. The official PMI survey showed service business activities picked up last month, with gains largely driven by producer services including finance. Consumer services such as retail and catering remained in contraction, according to a National Bureau of Statistics statement. China had a nine-day Lunar New Year holiday in February that boosted services spending, particularly in the tourism sector. Services companies in the private survey saw a slight rise in input prices driven by higher costs of fuel, materials and labor. But they still reduced their selling prices for the third time in four months in order to boost sales, according to a statement. China’s consumer spending booked the worst start to any year outside the pandemic, highlighting the challenge to a government that has targeted a bigger role for domestic demand. Beijing meanwhile has repeatedly to rebalance its economy toward consumption, where ramping up services is . China’s authorities modestly scaled back fiscal stimulus plans for this year as they lowered their annual growth target to 4.5%-5% — the least ambitious goal since 1991, though from a much larger base of gross domestic product. ### 相關股票 - [NASDAQ Golden Dragon China Index (.HXC.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/.HXC.US.md) - [Fortune SG SSE 180 Value ETF (510030.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/510030.CN.md) - [ISHARESHSI (03115.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/03115.HK.md) - [Hang Seng Composite Index (0HSCI.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/0HSCI.HK.md) - [ISHARES A50 (02823.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/02823.HK.md) - [Harvest FTSE China A50 ETF (512550.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/512550.CN.md) - [Hang Seng Index (00HSI.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/00HSI.HK.md) - [Krne Csi China Internet (KWEB.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/KWEB.US.md) - [China Southern Hang Seng ETF (513600.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/513600.CN.md) - [Tianshun (002800.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/002800.CN.md) - [iShares China Large Cap (FXI.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/FXI.US.md) - [SSE Index (000001.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/000001.CN.md) - [Invesco Golden Dragon China (PGJ.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/PGJ.US.md) - [CSI 300 (000300.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/000300.CN.md) - [E Fund MSCI China A50 Interconnection ETF (563000.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/563000.CN.md) - [Roundhill China Dragons ETF (DRAG.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/DRAG.US.md) - [Founder Fubon CSI Consumer Staples Dividend Index Enhanced Fund(LOF) (501089.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/501089.CN.md) - [HSCEI ETF (02828.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/02828.HK.md) - [ChinaAMC Hang Seng ETF (159920.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/159920.CN.md) - [iShares MSCI China (MCHI.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/MCHI.US.md) - [E Fund CNI Value 100 ETF (159263.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/159263.CN.md) - [CSOP A50 ETF (02822.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/02822.HK.md) ## 相關資訊與研究 - [China services activity growth cools in March, private PMI shows](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/281592784.md) - [China calls for promoting Middle East ceasefire in talks with EU, Germany](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/281554957.md) - [China's new home prices rise in March; big cities see seasonal pickup, private survey shows](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/281299995.md) - [China's Sci-Fi Boom Drives Record Revenue Growth](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/281352367.md) - [China releases 2026 work plan to improve service consumption - commerce ministry statement](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/281613301.md)
