Lot of pressure on Chinese economy in 2025
In the first half of 2025, China’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expanded by 5.3% YOY. Today, the external setting has become quite complex and China’s economy is facing a number of difficulties and challenges.
There is a lot of pressure on the Chinese economy. In order to meet its annual economic and social goals, it is necessary for the country’s macroeconomic policies to be strengthened in the remaining part of 2025.
It is necessary for authorities to implement more proactive fiscal policies and moderately relax monetary policies, according to China Daily. In addition to this, it is also important to stimulate the consumption potential by implementing necessary policies.
