China economic focus May 2023: a recovery without inflation
Report summary
China’s inflation will remain low in 2023 as the country is facing an oversupply amid its economic recovery. The Chinese government has directed much of its pandemic support to the supply side. As a result, the supply chain in China recovered and expanded even before the country ended its ‘Zero Covid’ policy. China’s pent-up demand will be weaker and shorter than the US experience. Households hold a smaller amount of excess savings and consumer confidence is taking longer to restore.
