China’s growth cools to 4.3% as investment slump deepens

China’s economy grew 4.3% in Q2, the slowest pace in over three years, as urban fixed-asset investment fell 5.7% in the first half. June saw retail sales rise 1% and industrial output advance 5.3%, signaling a mixed rebound amid weak domestic demand. With Beijing’s full-year target at 4.5–5% and growth likely undershooting it, policymakers are expected to roll out stimulus in Q3, potentially including a rate cut to spur investment, while unemployment hovered around 5% in June.

Fixed asset investment rose by 4.7%, against expectations of 5.5%. China stocks have pared most of the gains seen this year, and market sentiment remains weak, with Goldman Sachs economist Hui Shan expecting more measures from the government to improve market confidence.
