In Q2 2024, China’s GDP grew by 4.7% year-on-year, falling short of the 5.1% market forecast and decelerating from Q1’s 5.3% growth. This marks the slowest annual increase since Q1 2023, attributed to several factors: a persistent property market downturn, weak domestic demand, declining yuan value, and trade tensions with Western countries.
Despite these challenges, the economy expanded by 5.0% in the first half of 2024, aligning with the government’s annual growth target of around 5.0%. June’s economic indicators largely showed a slowdown, with retail sales growth hitting its lowest point in nearly 18 months and industrial output growth reaching a 3-month low. The urban unemployment rate remained steady at 5.0% for the third consecutive month.
On the trade front, exports surpassed expectations, while imports unexpectedly decreased. Amid these economic developments, the Chinese Communist Party commenced its Third Plenum, a crucial political event. The gathering is expected to introduce various reform measures and recommend additional support actions to stimulate economic recovery.
China’s central bank kept its medium-term lending rate at 2.5%, meeting market expectations. The move aims to support yuan stability amid ongoing economic challenges. The offshore yuan weakened beyond 7.27 against the dollar following China’s release of mixed economic indicators.
