Exports grew 29.9 percent year-over-year in April, much faster than the 18.6 percent surge in the prior month. Economists had forecast 16.0 percent growth.

Shipments of information, communication, and audio-video products jumped by 60.5 percent, and outflows of parts of electronic products rose by 26.8 percent.
