Background

China’s economic growth:

  • Official real GDP growth target for 2015 was 7%
  • 6.9% GDP growth in 2015 vs. 7.3% in 2014
  • 6.5% GDP growth for 2016

This decline was both anticipated and an intended byproduct of economic restructuring. Tight monetary and fiscal policies, were largely responsible for the slow growth in 2015.

China’s Outlook

Slowing down of China’s economic growth rates is mainly due to country’s transition to consumer-based growth model. This slowdown will cause:

  • Devaluation of the Yuan
  • Imports from china become relatively less expensive

Moreover, as China’s economy continues to grow, wages will continue to increase, hence:

  • Increasing productivity
  • Maintaining high export levels
