In the second quarter of 2025, China's GDP grew by 5.2%, more than analysts' estimates of 5.1% but down from 5.4% in the first quarter. This slowdown is attributed to weak domestic demand and global trade difficulties. Analysts expect further stimulus measures from Beijing to bolster the economy. Although industrial production rose 6.8% in June, retail sales advanced a more modest 4.8%. Projections point to the economy slowing to 4.5% and 4% in the coming quarters.
