Moody’s Ratings reduces China’s 2025 growth forecast to 3.8% from 4.5%
China may see a major slowdown in two years, with growth falling to 3.8 per cent in 2025 and 3.9 per cent in 2026 as trade tensions escalate and global economic conditions weigh on investment and consumer confidence, Moody’s Ratings said. In February, it projected a GDP growth of 4.5 per cent for 2025 and 4 per cent for 2026. US tariffs on China will be ‘considerably restrictive’ in the near term.
