Overview of recovery and macroeconomic momentum

• "China’s recovery is well advanced—but it lacks balance and momentum has slowed."
• Contributing factors to slowed momentum:
  • "rapid withdrawal of fiscal support"
  • "lagging consumption amid recurrent COVID-19 outbreaks despite a successful vaccination campaign"
  • "slowing real estate investment following policy efforts to reduce leverage in the property sector"
• "Regulatory measures targeting the technology sector, intended to enhance competition, consumer privacy, and data governance, have increased policy uncertainty."

Structural reforms, productivity, and rebalancing

• "Productivity growth is declining as decoupling pressures are increasing."
• "A stalling of key structural reforms and rebalancing are delaying the transition to 'high-quality'—balanced, inclusive and green—growth."

Climate strategy and policy direction

• "China’s climate strategy has begun to take shape with the release of detailed action plans."
