China and India Services Sectors Show Growth in May Amid Cost and Demand Challenges
China's services sector grew at its fastest pace in three months in May, driven by stronger domestic demand and a rebound in overseas orders, despite rising input costs that may pressure margins. Meanwhile, India's services sector expanded at a six-month high, supported by robust domestic demand, new business inflows, and easing input cost inflation. Both countries saw improved export orders, though India's external demand remained below 2025 averages amid ongoing global uncertainties and cautious business confidence.
