Forecasts for historic growth of China’s economy in 2023

China’s economy continues to achieve very advanced figures over the past period, following the control of covid 19 pandemic, the subsequent closure of the country and the disruption of daily life, but new figures and statistics for the Chinese economy have shown significant progress since the end of last year 2022, and the beginning of this year 2023.

China’s economy is stabilizing and picking up pace with a marked improvement in key economic data for the first two months of 2023, the National Bureau of Statistics said, as consumer spending, investment and industrial output rebounded.

So, Retail sales — a key measurement of consumer spending — surged 3.5 percent year-on-year in the January-February period, after a 1.8 percent decline in December, data released by the NBS showed.

Fixed-asset investment — a gauge of expenditures on items including infrastructure, property and machinery and equipment — increased by 5.5 percent during the two-month period, compared with a 5.1 percent rise for the whole of 2022.

China’s factory activity has been very active over the past three months, following a significant decline in the aftermath of the pandemic, indicating a significant recovery in Chinese markets, and a resurgence in exports.

China has set an economic growth target of around 5 percent for 2023, which officials and analysts believe is a pragmatic and achievable goal.
The nation’s economy had expanded by 3 percent year-on-year in 2022.
Recent statistics on China’s economy indicate a forecast of 5 to 7% growth on an annual basis due to the state’s strong economic conditions and foundations.
