Report summary
In the November edition of China economic focus, we discuss the factors behind the surprisingly deep October slowdown. The simultaneous collapse of temporary growth pillars in consumption and exports was the primary driver of this weakness. The economy will rely on strong, direct structural policies to bolster confidence and domestic demand to have any chance of meeting the ambitious 2026 growth target.
