China's Economic Tightrope: Balancing Growth and Stability
As China's economy shows signs of slowing, analysts question the likelihood of consumer-focused stimulus measures. Meanwhile, Q3 growth projections paint a mixed picture for the world's second-largest economy.
In a climate of economic uncertainty, China's policymakers are walking a fine line between stimulating growth and maintaining stability. Recent analyses from major financial institutions suggest that the road ahead may be bumpy for the Asian giant.
Morgan Stanley economists, led by Robin Xing, cast doubt on the prospect of significant demand stimulus in China's near future, particularly measures aimed at consumers. Following a press conference where officials struck a moderate tone on direct demand stimulation, the Morgan Stanley team noted that the gradual support measures remain largely investment-oriented.
Meanwhile, Bank of America (BofA) economists predict a further slowdown in China's GDP growth for the third quarter. They anticipate real GDP growth to decelerate to 4.6% in Q3, down from 4.7% in Q2, potentially falling short of official targets. This projection comes amid a mixed economic landscape, with improvements in the service sector offset by a slowdown in industrial production.
Looking ahead to September's economic data, BofA expects a nuanced picture. Growth in fixed asset investment and retail sales is forecast to pick up, while consumer price inflation is likely to ease.
