The IMF Has Raised Its Forecast For China's Economic Growth This Year To 5%

Recently, the International Monetary Fund raised its forecast for China's economic growth, with growth rates expected to be 5% and 4.5% in 2024 and 2025, respectively, an increase of 0.4 percentage points from the forecast in April. Today, Steven Barnett, the Chief Representative of the International Monetary Fund in China, revealed that "the upward adjustment of the forecast is mainly due to the increase in the proportion of China's consumption growth in the first quarter." Considering the improvement of China's total factor productivity, better utilization of capital and labor to enhance productivity, and an increase in per capita productivity. In the long run, allowing the market to play a role in resource allocation, creating a fair environment and platform for state-owned and private enterprises, under these policies, China's economic development still has resilience.
