China’s slump
China’s economy has not rebounded as investors or the government expected. Growth slowed in the second quarter, with exports and consumer spending both faltering. Youth unemployment is at record levels and property market troubles seem to have turned consumer sentiment bearish, alongside the emergence of deflationary trends.
Beijing’s initial policy response has not yet engineered a reversal in fortunes. Interest rates have been cut, but not as far as some expected. In some quarters, there is speculation as to whether the current troubles are cyclical or whether they mark the start of a secular trend that portends much lower growth from hereon.
Join Oxford Analytica’s conference call on September 20, where our experts will consider:
- The principal causes of the current economic weakness
- The efficacy of the policy response, to date
- Potential trajectories for the economy over the next few quarters
Chair: Nick Redman, Director of Analysis
