China’s growth slows to multi-decade lows as domestic demand falters

China’s Q2 GDP rose 4.3% year-on-year, the slowest since the early 1990s GDP data began (apart from Covid distortions) and below Beijing’s 4.5–5% 2026 target. Domestic demand shows weakness: retail sales +1% in June, fixed-asset investment down 5.7% in the first half, while industrial production rose 5.3% in June. Exports jumped 27% YoY in June, but net exports remain negative due to higher imports, underscoring reliance on trade amid a property slowdown and deflation risks. Analysts warn that monthly indicators point to a bleaker picture than the quarterly GDP, with data gaps and foreign demand cited as partial explanations.

At the Central Economic Work Conference, they also discussed lowering interest rates and reducing bank reserve requirements. The focus on domestic demand comes amid concerns over deflation and external trade challenges, particularly with potential U.S. tariffs. However, the lack of detailed measures has disappointed investors, who are cautious about the effectiveness of these policies in stimulating the economy.

"China's Demographic Shift: Implications for Economic Growth and Future"

China's ageing population, coupled with a record low birth rate and a wave of COVID-19 deaths, poses a severe challenge to the economy's long-term growth prospects, threatening key policy goals of boosting domestic consumption and reining in debt. With a large demographic group set to exit the labor pool and strain on the pension system, China faces structural imbalances and a potential humanitarian catastrophe. The country's low retirement age and declining birth rate are expected to impact domestic consumption, property sector, and innovation, leading to increased reliance on exports and slower productivity improvement.

Shares of internet giants and electric vehicle companies also saw positive movement.
