The market optimism which greeted the end of zero-COVID restrictions has quickly given way to gloom after a string of disappointing data releases. Markets are down and speculation is rife that the government will do more to ease policy to give the economy a boost. But how much trouble is China’s cyclical recovery in, and what should investors expect on the policy front?
Our China Economics team held a online briefing shortly after the release of official May investment, retail sales and production data on the Chinese economic outlook. During this 20-minute session, Julian Evans-Pritchard, Mark Williams and Sheana Yue answered client questions and addressed key issues, including:
- Why we think the recovery has further to run;
- How much more policy easing to expect this year;
- Cyclical vs structural – what lies beyond the post-COVID rebound.
