BEIJING, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) -- China's warehouse storage sector remained in the expansion zone for the seventh straight month in August, according to a survey jointly released by the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing and CMST Development Co., Ltd.
The index tracking the sector's development stood at 52 percent last month, down 0.2 percentage points from July, the survey showed.
A reading above 50 percent indicates expansion, while a reading below 50 percent reflects contraction.
The index has remained in expansion territory for seven consecutive months, indicating that the warehouse storage sector has maintained a good development momentum, said Wang Yong, vice president of CMST Development.
With pro-consumption policies showing more effects, market demand is expected to continue improving, and the warehousing industry is likely to maintain a stable and positive development in September, Wang added.
