SINGAPORE, April 13 (Reuters) - China's coal imports
surged in March to their highest in three years as utilities
increased purchases on expectations for a demand recovery.
The world's top coal consumer brought in 41.17 million
tonnes last month, data from the General Administration of
Customs showed on Thursday.
That compares to an average of 30.32 million tonnes per
month in the January-February period and represents an increase
of 151% from March last year.
