China economic focus May 2024: how to resolve excess supply
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
China is at the bottom of a business cycle with excess supply arising from overinvestment since 2016. However, the manufacturing and construction sectors will have different ways out of the situation. Excess capacity in the energy transition supply chain may be temporary. Demand will climb to catch up with supply, but China risks potential trade barriers from the US and the EU. Supply will decrease to meet demand in the real estate and infrastructure sectors. The government needs to provide a social safety net while the market is in recession.
