China's leaders are shifting monetary policy towards a looser stance along with increased fiscal support as they prepare for potential economic challenges, particularly from a probable trade war. This will involve rate cuts and stronger measures to stabilize the property and stock markets, reflecting a marked change from the cautious approach maintained since 2011. With a targeted GDP growth of around 5%, this expansionary strategy aims to bolster confidence in the economy amid U.S. tariffs threat from the incoming administration.
