This summer, the World Bank predicted a slow-down in China’s economic growth to 4,5% for 2025 while IMF predicted a growth of 4,8%. At the same time, figures show a growth rate of 5,3% for the first half year of 2025, reflecting strong performance and tariff reductions. The Chinese government has set it’s target at around 5% for the full year.
So what are the drivers in the Chinese economy today? A resilient domestic demand, particularly consumption, though external pressures and the need for structural reforms remain challenges. What can we expect for the remaining part of 2025?
Welcome to join us for a discussion in Stockholm with Peter Ling-Vannerus, SEB Beijing, who will guide us through the latest updates when it comes to the Chinese economy and what to expect ahead.
