Policy support helped boost consumption and spurred a pickup in home sales in major cities. However, consumption growth remains soft, and the property sector in lower-tier cities continues to struggle. Meanwhile, manufacturing investment and exports-strong until recently-now face headwinds from global trade policy uncertainty. In response, the government has implemented accommodative monetary and fiscal policies. The latest China Economic Update, "Unlocking Consumption," outlines additional reforms aimed at raising consumption. According to the Update released today, growth is projected to moderate to 4.5 percent in 2025 and 4.0 percent in 2026, as global trade restrictions and uncertainty weigh on exports, manufacturing investment, and hiring.
