In China, Industrial Profits (YTD) YoY measures the percentage change in total profits of all state-owned and non-state-owned industrial enterprises with annual sales revenue exceeding 5 million yuan compared with the same period one year earlier. This indicator provides insight into the health of the industrial sector and can influence economic analysis and market expectations.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the CNY while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the CNY.
