China Signals Monetary Easing in 2025 to Bolster Economy

Amid economic challenges and international trade tensions, Beijing plans policy adjustments to stimulate domestic growth and stabilize its economy.

Chinese leaders announced plans for a more proactive fiscal policy and monetary easing in 2025 to address slowing economic growth and weak domestic consumption.
The move comes as the country continues to grapple with a real estate crisis, low consumer demand, and fears of deflation, with inflation rising only 0.2% in November year-on-year.
The Politburo meeting highlighted the need to boost consumption, enhance investment efficiency, and expand domestic demand as key priorities for economic recovery.
The announcement coincides with the anticipated return of Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency, who has pledged to increase tariffs on Chinese exports, heightening trade tensions.
At an international economic summit, Premier Li Qiang warned of the risks of 'deglobalization,' citing rising trade barriers and restrictions affecting global economic stability.
