Deep dives
China's Two-track Economy: Industrial Sector vs. Property Market
China's economy shows a two-track pattern with a thriving industrial sector but struggling property market. Positive industrial output data and strong export numbers indicate foreign demand growth. However, the property sector faces challenges with stagnant home sales, reflecting concerns about domestic demand and deflationary trends.
Exploring China's Monetary Policy Strategies
China considers unconventional monetary policy tools like quantitative easing to stimulate the economy. While historically averse to quantitative easing, China experiments with targeted stimulus initiatives such as lending programs for affordable housing. Policymakers also explore fiscal support measures like selling sovereign debt and buyback programs to boost consumer spending and address economic challenges.
Factors Influencing Foreign Investment in China
China aims to attract foreign investment despite facing geopolitical pressures and U.S.-led sanctions. Efforts to promote foreign business engagements include high-level dialogues and forums with foreign executives. While China implements strategies to encourage investment, challenges remain due to geopolitical tensions restricting business opportunities and impacting investment inflows.
