Economic Buzz: World Bank forecasts China GDP to grow 4.9% in 2025
The bank projected economic growth at 4.9 percent this year and 4.4 percent in 2026, as existing headwinds are expected to persist.
The lender expects fiscal measures together with some stability in global trade policy to support investment and exports.
Earlier in October, the bank had forecast China's growth to reach 4.8 percent in 2025 and 4.2 percent in 2026.
The World Bank cited that challenges in the property sector, subdued earning prospects, labor market softness, and trade policy uncertainty could last longer than expected and weigh on consumption and investment.
However, higher-than-expected fiscal spending, including stronger measures to enhance social protection, and more decisive policy actions to stabilize the property sector are upside risks to the outlook, the bank noted.
