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.
Kiinan kasvun epätasapainot syvenevät2.11.2026 07:00:00 EET | Tiedote
Kiinan talouskasvu on hidastunut vuonna 2026, ja kasvun rakenne on muuttunut entistä epätasapainoisemmaksi. Kotimaisen kysynnän kasvu on ollut heikkoa ja kiinteistösektorin tilanne on pysynyt vaikeana. Sen sijaan vienti, korkean teknologian tuotanto ja valtion tukemat investoinnit ovat kannatelleet talouskasvua. Tuotannon ja kysynnän välinen epätasapaino kasvattaa samalla kauppapoliittisia jännitteitä.
China’s growth imbalances deepen2.11.2026 07:00:00 EET | Press release
As China’s economy has slowed this year, its growth structure has become increasingly unbalanced. Domestic demand remains weak, and the situation in the real estate sector remains challenging. At the same time, high-tech manufacturing and state-supported investment underpin economic growth. The imbalance between production capacity and demand within China has become a driver of international trade tensions.
