Mainland China's economy poised to rebound to 7.9% in 3Q

Here's what will boost this growth.

According to Hang Seng Bank's China Economic Monitor, Mainland China's economic growth is set to rebound to 7.9% in the third quarter.

Here's more:

Mainland China will release its real GDP growth for the third quarter on 18th October.

Although economic growth slowed to 7.5% in the second quarter from 7.7% in the first quarter, July and August macro data suggested that economic conditions have been improving after the government implemented “mini-stimulus” policies, including accelerating infrastructure projects and offering tax breaks for small companies to boost growth.

Fixed asset investment (FAI) growth accelerated to 20.1% in July and 21.4% in August from 19.9% in the second quarter on the back of more infrastructure investment.

Steady income growth also continued to support private consumption, with retail sales increasing more than 13% during the same period. Even exports, the main drag on growth in the second quarter, rebounded with global conditions improving.

Against such a background, we expect GDP growth in the third quarter to accelerate to 7.9% from 7.6% in the first half.

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.
