China economic focus March 2023: time for changes
Report summary
The new government in China needs to issue new policies to accelerate economic recovery. However, the lower-than-expected 5% GDP target signals that the government may face challenges. China needs to boost consumption by lowering saving rates and increasing real wages. But the government’s recent steps to support private businesses and stabilise housing prices are already providing consumers with a sense of security. China is currently redirecting trade and investment to Asian economies. This is a result of rising political tensions between China and the US and the restructure of the global supply chain.
