China's trade deficit in services widened in July, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange said Monday.
The deficit on trade in services increased to $17.6 billion in July from $14.9 billion in June. At the same time, the merchandise trade showed a surplus of $46 billion in July.
For the first seven months of 2015, the services trade shortfall totaled $109.2 billion.
China had devalued its currency early this month to cushion exports, which declined sharply in July. The devaluation was termed as a one-time adjustment.
