Résumé :
China’s economy with a population of more than one billion has experienced rapid growth for more than 40 years, which is a miracle of mankind.
However, since the global financial crisis in 2008, China’s economy has experienced violent fluctuations, which are due to the lack of long-term growth momentum on the supply side (slow technological progress and lagging market-oriented reform); There are also reasons for insufficient global demand and domestic demand.
- China’s economy is facing two long-term challenges : (1) China’s demographic dividend is weakened; (2) China’s industrial structure is transferred and upgraded.
- China’s economy must also address short term challenges : (1)Insufficient aggregate demand. Since the beginning of 2023, external demand, real estate and infrastructure investment have been sluggish. At the same time, China residents have a high propensity to save and low consumption ; (2)The recession crisis of real estate and balance sheet. In recent years, the government has strictly controlled the real estate market from the supply side and the demand side.
The presentation will tackle both short term and long term challenges.
