China's exports recovered in November after falling in October, data from the customs office revealed Monday.

Exports grew 5.9 percent on a yearly basis in November, reversing a 1.1 percent fall in October.

At the same time, imports posted an annual growth of 1.9 percent after rising 1 percent in the previous month. However, this was weaker than the expected growth of 2.8 percent.

Consequently, the trade balance showed a surplus of around $112 billion in November, above the forecast of $100.2 billion.
