Economist+852-2203 6166 Mobilitygrowth slowed during the LaborDayholiday,withtotal passengertrafficgrowing 4% YoY overthefive-dayperiod-a deceleration from the 6%growth seenduring the Qingming Festival in April. This slowdown was primarily driven by airtravel, which declined by 5.8% YoY. Cross-border travel also slowed,with the number of international flightsremainingflat YoY,comparedto11%growth in theprioryear.The volumeofcross-borderpassengertrips alsodeceleratedsharplyto2%YoYfrom22%lastyear.ConsideringthatthenumberofvisitorstoHongKongandMacaoincreasedby6.3%YoY,thislikely suggests even weaker growth,ora potential decline,in thenumberof Chinese visitors to other international destinations. The slowdown in travelcan be partlyattributed totherise in aviationfuel prices.The average price of a flight ticket was 10% higher YoY, reflecting a significantincrease in fuel surcharges since April. Meanwhile,railway and road travelcontinuedto grow at a pace comparable to the Lunar New Year holiday.

Meanwhile,goods consumptiongrowth mayhave slowed further.Whilethegovernment has not yet released aggregate retail sales figures for the Labor Dayholiday,a Xinhua News report stated that"overallgoods consumption remainedstable,"which could suggests relatively muted growth.This is supported byanother data point:total sales at 78 key pedestrian streetsgrewby5.3%YoY, China Macro Appendix 1 *Otherinformationavailableuponrequest andothersources.ForfurtherinformationregardingdisclosuresrelevanttoDeutscheBank Research,pleasevisitourglobalDisclaimer.Investors are strongly encouraged to review this information before investing.
