报告简介

China continues its transition to a sustainable growth path. Rebalancing has progressed on many dimensions, particularly switching from industry to services and from investment to consumption, but less on reining in rapid credit growth. The transition to sustainable growth is proving difficult, with rising vulnerabilities. While the challenges are still manageable, urgent action is needed to ensure they remain so by reducing vulnerabilities while supporting new, market-based growth. What policy measures can secure China’s transition to a more sustainable growth? This talk and discussion is based on the recent International Monetary Fund annual consultation report on China.
