Summary

After four decades of high growth and remarkable socioeconomic achievements, China’s growth has decelerated in recent years, reflecting the pandemic, a large but needed property market correction, and structural headwinds such as weakening productivity and labor force growth. The transition to lower growth is consistent with the authorities’ goal to pursue high-quality growth and reduce the imbalances and vulnerabilities that have emerged, most notably with the significant build-up of debt. The authorities have taken incremental policy steps to achieve these objectives, but a comprehensive and balanced policy approach is needed to manage the challenges facing the economy.
