China's GDP to climb 8.1% in 2013

But analysts believe recovery won't be as significant.

According to OCBC, China’s GDP is likely to grow at 8.1% yoy in 2013, just slightly above the projected 7.7% yoy in 2012. The firm expects social financing, which has been stronger than expected in 2012 to provide crucial funding support to China’s recovery.

Here's more from OCBC:

However, the recovery is unlikely to be as significant as what we saw in 2009 particularly since the government is unlikely to announce fiscal stimulus to the extent of that passed in 2008.

The current tone of prudent monetary and proactive fiscal policies is likely to remain intact in the near term with the incoming policymakers appearing comfortable with the current growth trajectory and subdued inflation of possibly below 3% yoy in 2013.

The trend of RMB appreciation should persist in 2013, albeit at a slower pace with higher volatility. With the RMB moving towards being more market-determined, the possibility of further band widening from 1.0% to 1.5% should not be ruled out.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
