China PIB Taxa De Crescimento Anual

The Chinese economy expanded 4.7% yoy in Q2 of 2024, missing market forecasts of 5.1% and slowing from a 5.3% growth in Q1. It was the weakest yearly advance since Q1 of 2023, amid a persistent property downturn, weak domestic demand, falling yuan, and trade frictions with the West. The latest figures came as the Communist Party began the Third Plenum, a key political event in which various reform measures are likely to be launched, along with recommendations for more support action to boost recovery. The economy grew by 5.0% during the first half of the year while the government is targeting the GDP to grow around 5.0% this year. In June alone, economic indicators mostly presented a slowdown, with retail sales rising the least in almost 1-1/2 years and industrial output growth at a 3-month low. Meantime, the urban jobless rate remained unchanged at 5.0% for the third month. On the trade front, exports increased more than expected last month but imports unexpectedly shrank.
