Economia Chinei încetineşte în iulie, pe fondul consumului slab şi al scăderii investiţiilor

China's economy showed signs of slowing down in July, with retail sales rising only 0.6% and urban investments declining significantly. Unemployment increased to 5.2%, raising concerns about economic stability. The National Bureau of Statistics highlighted the need for new growth drivers, attributing the slowdown to geopolitical tensions and extreme weather. Consumer spending remains weak, with retail sales growth slowing to 1.3% in the first half of the year. Economists expect Beijing to implement more stimulus measures, including potential interest rate cuts, as the government plans to accelerate fiscal spending.
