*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
In the July China economic focus, we discuss the key macroeconomic and commodity market takeaways from the Third Plenum. China will focus on developing the “new quality productive forces,” the high-tech industries that the government believes could become its new growth engines. To achieve this goal, the country will set up new systems across government and state-owned enterprises. Addressing existing issues hindering economic growth will take time. These issues include sluggish private investment, consumption, local government debt sustainability and property recession. Meanwhile, decarbonisation and supply security will remain the focus of the natural resources sector.
