🧵10 Key Prediction For Chinese Economy in 2024 by Yuekai Securities #China 1) 2024 GDP growth to be set at around 5%.
Based on the average growth rates calculated from the base year of 2019, the two-year average growth rate for 2021 and 2022 is 5.3%, while the three-year average growth rate is 4.5%. It is projected that the four-year average growth rate for 2023 will be 4.7%. As long as the five-year average growth rate for 2024 sees a slight increase to 4.8%, the year-on-year growth rate for 2024 is expected to reach 5%. Of course, the recovery of the average growth rate relies not only on the inherent economic momentum but also on the support of growth-stabilizing policies.
2) The gap between social retail consumption in 2024 and the level of potential trend is expected to narrow once again. There are several factors contributing to this: 1. Accelerated nominal economic growth, which drives an increase in household income. 2. Continued recovery in the average consumer inclination, leading to improved income elasticity of consumption. 3. Ongoing relaxation of supply constraints in offline service industries, providing consumers with more consumption scenarios. 4. Support and stimulation of durable goods consumption through policies such as housing delivery and consumption promotion.
These factors combined are anticipated to contribute to the narrowing of the gap between social retail consumption in 2024 and the potential trend level.
#China #Consumption
Graph: There is currently a significant gap between social retail consumption and the pre-pandemic trend level.
3)The drag from real estate investment is diminishing, while infrastructure and manufacturing investment maintain high growth rates.
Graph: Faster growths in infrastructure investment and manufacturing investment offset the decline in real estate investment
🔵Completed fixed-asset investment
🔴Property investment
🟢Manufacture industry investment
🟣Infrastructure investment
It is projected that the growth rate of fixed asset investment will rebound to 4.9% in 2024, with real estate investment narrowing its decline to -3%, and manufacturing and infrastructure investment maintaining high growth rates of 6.6% and 8.5% respectively.
Firstly, the drag from the real estate sector is weakening. After nearly three years of market adjustments and continued efforts in real estate policies, the decline in real estate sales and investment will narrow. Projects such as urban village transformation will also contribute to this improvement.
Secondly, infrastructure investment continues to strengthen. Measures such as issuing 1 trillion yuan worth of government bonds by the end of 2023, a potential deficit ratio exceeding 3% in 2024, and policy-driven financial instruments provide support. Infrastructure investment is expected to have a strong start.
Thirdly, high-end manufacturing maintains high growth rates, benefiting from industrial upgrades, the need for industrial security, and focused support from financial resources. Looking at the usage of structural monetary policy tools by the central bank in the first three quarters of 2023, the support plan for housing delivery loans and special refinancing for real estate companies had respective quotas of 200 billion yuan and 80 billion yuan, but only added 5.6 billion yuan and 0 yuan respectively during the year. In contrast, tools supporting carbon emissions reduction, special refinancing for coal clean and efficient utilization, technological innovation refinancing, and equipment upgrading and renovation refinancing saw additions of 200.1 billion yuan, 181.3 billion yuan, 145.6 billion yuan, and 86.3 billion yuan respectively during the year. This reflects the enthusiasm of financial institutions in providing credit for areas such as technological innovation, advanced manufacturing, and green development.
