Power rationing has impacted China’s economic growth since mid-September. We expect that constraints on power supply to persist before the end of the winter heating season, but disruptions to economic activity will moderate. This round of power rationing will spur domestic inflation in the short term with the deregulation of the power markets. It will also expedite the offshoring of China’s energy-intensive sectors in the long term.
