China’s Economy Shows Growth in 2024
In 2024, China’s economy expanded by 5%, marking a positive upturn in the final quarter. The surge in growth was largely attributed to a series of stimulus measures that were put in place throughout the year to align with Beijing’s growth target. In the fourth quarter, the GDP surpassed expectations with a 5.4% increase, outperforming analysts’ predictions by 0.4%.
Compared to the previous quarters of the year, the final quarter showed accelerated growth. With 5.4% growth in Q4, it was a notable increase from the 4.6% recorded in Q3, 4.7% in Q2, and 5.3% in Q1. Even with the buoyed economy, the full-year expansion at 5% remained slightly lower than the 5.4% growth observed in 2023 post the pandemic.
Looking at the figures, the statistics bureau revised the 2023 GDP growth to 7.4%, underscoring the positive trajectory of the economy in recent years. However, despite the growth, the bureau issued a cautionary statement highlighting the increasing adverse effects from the external environment and the prevalent insufficiencies in domestic demand.
