With continued macro policy support, some key macroeconomic indicators of China rebounded in January and February, with investment and consumption growth accelerating, though industrial production and exports slowed due to the impact of the Chinese New Year (CNY) holiday and increased tariffs.

Data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and the General Administration of Customs show that domestic demand improved in the first two months of 2025, with retail sales and fixed-asset investment growing by 4% and 4.1% year on year, respectively, accelerating by 0.3 and 0.9 percentage points
