Foreign media: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised its growth forecast for China's economy in 2025 to 5%, and expects a growth of 4.5% in 2026, an increase of 0.2 and 0.3 percentage points respectively from the October forecast.
The IMF said that China's stimulus measures and lower-than-expected export tariffs are the main factors driving growth. Despite challenges such as trade friction, real estate market adjustments, local fiscal pressures, weak domestic demand, and deflationary pressures, China's economy still shows significant resilience.
The IMF recommends that China reduce its reliance on exports and investment, and shift toward a consumption-driven growth model.
