Far from a bazooka, China's stimulus measures are just trickling through the economy

Published On Dec 4, 2024, 6:05 PM

China's stimulant measures have started to impact the economy, but progress is slow and uneven. Data and earnings reports indicate that while some sectors like real estate and manufacturing are seeing benefits from these policies, most companies remain cautious in their outlooks. There are predictions for incremental improvements in economic indicators, but a significant rebound isn't expected soon. Analysts stress that substantial growth is conditional upon future stimulus measures and geopolitical tensions with countries like the U.S. may further affect the economic landscape.

However, as the stimulus is expected to gradually support consumer spending and improve economic conditions, there may still be opportunities in selective sectors.
