Consequently, home\n        sales and prices have declined. The housing market\u2019s troubles have\n        impacted consumption and investor sentiment, as the property sector\n        accounted for up to 25 percent of GDP at its 2022 peak, with significant\n        household wealth tied to it.\n      <\/li>\n      <li>\n        <strong>Favouritism for the state over the private sector: <\/strong>The\n        authorities have in the past prioritised state-owned enterprises over\n        the private sector, viewing them as vital to maintaining economic\n        stability and ensuring strategic control and sovereignty.

After implementing\n      a number of targeted measures to stimulate certain areas of the economy\n      over the past few years, the country\u2019s policymakers unveiled significant\n      initiatives in late September 2024. They also hinted at a coordinated\n      effort to enhance economic growth through both monetary and fiscal\n      policies. Key monetary measures include:\n    <\/p>\n    <ul class=\"list-spaced\">\n      <li>\n        An additional 50 basis points (bps) cut to 6.6 percent to the average\n        Required Reserve Ratio, the monetary policy tool used by the People\u2019s\n        Bank of China to control the money supply and manage liquidity in the\n        banking system. The authorities prepared the ground for another cut by\n        year-end;\n      <\/li>\n      <li>\n        A range of cuts to related interest rates, including a 50 bps reduction\n        in mortgage rates;\n      <\/li>\n      <li>\n        A reduction to 15 percent from 25 percent in the minimum downpayment on\n        second properties; and\n      <\/li>\n      <li>\n        A total of 800 billion renminbi (US$112 billion) in liquidity backing to\n        support stock market purchases by major Chinese financial institutions\n        and companies.\n      <\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n    <p>\n      Meanwhile, the Ministry of Finance announced that fiscal spending would\n      increase before year-end and next year, though details have been lacking.\n      Delays may indicate that reaching a consensus on the amount of borrowing\n      required and how it should be spent has been difficult. Details are widely\n      expected when the National People\u2019s Congress Standing Committee, China\u2019s\n      legislature, convenes November 4\u20138.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Possible measures include support for local governments burdened by\n      significant debt, a move that could also aid banks that extended loans to\n      these local entities.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Steps to bolster demand are also likely, potentially including an\n      expansion of the national safety net, according to Lascelles. Chinese\n      households tend to save rather than spend, with the country\u2019s national\n      savings rate exceeding twice that of the U.S. Gross national savings as a\n      percentage of GDP stands at 43 percent compared to 17 percent in the\n      United States.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Caixin Global, a media group, reports that, overall, China\u2019s central\n      government may borrow six trillion renminbi (US$842 billion), or the\n      equivalent of a substantial five percent of GDP, though a more modest\n      amount may be announced. By comparison, to mitigate the impact of the\n      global financial crisis in 2008, China launched a stimulus programme of more\n      than US$575 billion, which represented then 12.5 percent of GDP.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Overall, Lascelles explains that expectations need to be managed carefully\n      given that the Chinese economy is unlikely to ever return to its prior\n      glory days of six percent-plus growth. He believes that given the\n      demographic challenge and China\u2019s advanced stage of development, a gradual\n      deceleration to annual growth of three percent or four percent is the most\n      likely scenario. Furthermore, economic development is no longer the sole\n      focus for the authorities, as they now also place a high priority on\n      national security, food security, energy security, and tech\n      self-sufficiency.\n    <\/p>\n    <!-- SECTION -->\n    <h2>Still the main engine for the world economy<\/h2>\n    <p>\n      A three percent growth rate would be enough to keep China as a global\n      power, in his view, and to allow it to continue advancing down the same\n      road taken by Japan and South Korea toward developed-world status.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Moreover, despite a more muted growth, the International Monetary Fund\n      expects China to remain the largest single contributor to global growth.\n      It estimates China will generate almost 22 percent of world economy growth\n      from 2024 to 2029, roughly twice as much as the United States and by far\n      the largest of any country.\n    <\/p>\n    <!-- EX 2 -->\n    <h3>China to remain the single largest contributor to global growth<\/h3>\n    <h4>Contributions to world economic growth 2024\u20132029, IMF forecast<\/h4>\n    <div class=\"row mb-4\">\n      <div class=\"col-lg-10 col-md-8 col-sm-8 col-xs-10 col-xxs-12\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\"\n          src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/global\/chinas-challenging-chapter-en-chart-2.png\"\n          alt=\"Contributions to world economic growth 2024\u20132029, IMF forecast\"\n          class=\"img-fluid mb-1-half\"\n          aria-describedby=\"chart2desc\"\n        \/>\n        <p class=\"sr-only\" id=\"chart2desc\">\n            The pie chart shows the International Monetary Fund\u2019s projections for national contributions to world economic growth for 2024 to 2029.
