The International Monetary Fund has raised its forecast for China’s economic growth to 5.0 percent in 2025 and 4.5 percent in 2026, citing strong domestic demand supported by stimulus measures and investment financing. The IMF also slightly increased its global growth forecast to 3.3 percent for 2026, driven by improved performance in major economies. China’s stronger outlook reflects better exports, supportive fiscal and credit policies, and measures to boost investment and consumption. While policymakers focus on stabilizing growth and structural reforms, the IMF warned that trade tensions and financial risks could affect medium-term prospects.
