Obalanserna i Kinas tillväxt fördjupas2.11.2026 07:00:00 EET | Pressmeddelande

Den ekonomiska tillväxten i Kina har bromsat in 2026, samtidigt som tillväxtens struktur har blivit alltmer obalanserad. Ökningen i den inhemska efterfrågan har varit dämpad och läget inom fastighetssektorn är fortsatt svårt. Däremot har exporten, produktionen av högteknologiska produkter och statsstödda investeringar burit upp den ekonomiska tillväxten. Samtidigt har obalansen mellan produktionen och efterfrågan bidragit till att de handelspolitiska spänningarna har ökat.
