Macro Outlook: China's economy stands at the beginning of a new cycle

 

After the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic and a huge turnaround in the world economic and trade landscape in 2020, China's economy has taken the lead in recovery with its resilient posture and pace. In the opening year of the 14^th Five-Year Plan, what will we do to step into the future?

 

 

The most talked-about speech at the forum was delivered by Ren Zeping, former Deputy Director of the Research Office of the Macro Department of the Development Research Center of the State Council, who gave a keynote speech titled "Hearing Thunder in a Silent Place - China's Economic Outlook". He noted that China is the only major economy in the world to achieve positive economic growth in 2020, and is at the forefront of the world in fighting the epidemic and recovering production, showing great institutional strength and economic resilience. The greatest change in a century is also the greatest opportunity in a century. China contributes one-third of the world's economic growth in 2020, but China's GDP per capita is still only one-sixth of that of the United States, which means that China has huge potential for development. Only a few of the catching-up economies at the middle-income stage can be promoted to developed economies, and the key to success is to construct new growth drivers and platforms. China must unswervingly promote supply-side structural reform and facilitate the economy's transformation from high-speed to high-quality development.

 

↑ Ren Zeping, a famous economist

 

Mr. Ren Zeping summarized three basic judgments on China's long-term outlook, namely "the new 5% (GDP growth rate) is better than the old 8%", "the best future investment opportunities are in China" and "the Chinese economy is standing at the starting point of a new cycle".
