Experts see expansionary moves ahead

China Daily  

A view of Shanghai's Pudong New Area. China may roll out unprecedented expansionary moves in macroeconomic adjustments next year after a top-level meeting signaled a significant shift of mindset in prioritizing the expansion of domestic demand amid external uncertainties, policy researchers and economists said. Measures in the pipeline may include the highest official projected deficit ratio on record, a sharp rise in special treasury bonds to subsidize consumer spending and direct policy support for people's incomes, they said, making the stimulus package focus on vitalizing household consumption, in contrast with the investment-heavy approach in 2008. "The meeting indicated that China will expand domestic demand, especially consumption, more vigorously in 2025, with relevant policy tools enriched and improved," said Wu Sa, a senior researcher at the Chinese Academy of Macroeconomic Research. Jacqueline Rong, chief China economist at BNP Paribas, said the leadership's decision to increase pension payouts, albeit expected to be modest in 2025 given fiscal affordability, would be "a clear step in the right direction".
