China's recent macroeconomic performance has exceeded expectations, with decreasing volatility and strong domestic and foreign demand. The full-year outlook remains positive, suggesting that the economy will outperform initial projections. A slight tightening of macroeconomic policies may be necessary to prevent overheating, as continued expansion without intervention could lead to excessive growth. Influenced by the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" and the appreciation of the renminbi, key sectors gaining favor include manufacturing industries in a growth phase—particularly those linked to critical infrastructure such as coal, electricity, oil, and transportation. Additionally, leading sectors like automobiles and real estate, along with service industries such as finance and retail, are expected to benefit.
The moderation of macroeconomic fluctuations has sparked debate about short-term economic movements. While long-term growth potential remains widely recognized, there is significant divergence in views on near-term volatility. Unlike deflation, which stems from supply-side imbalances, demand-side factors play an equally crucial role. With flexible demand management, aggregate demand has not fallen into deflation as rapidly as it did in 1998.
Since 2002, China has maintained a favorable environment of high growth and low inflation, with more stable cyclical fluctuations compared to historical patterns. This stability can be attributed to several factors: first, the current growth is driven by strong demand, particularly after per capita income surpassed $1,000, fueling consumption upgrades and boosting auto and real estate sectors, which in turn stimulated investment. Second, capital stock growth has remained above 10% since 1993, enhancing the economy’s potential growth rate. Third, effective macroeconomic control has prevented overinvestment and deep recessions that typically follow rapid growth. Fourth, government policies focused on building a harmonious society and improving people’s livelihoods have gradually resolved long-standing social issues that previously constrained total demand.
Studies suggest that reduced cyclical volatility contributes positively to sustained economic growth. Frequent large swings can be harmful, but as China moves away from extreme fluctuations, short- and long-term growth becomes more aligned. Over the next decade, China’s economy is expected to remain in an upward trend, with this underlying growth serving as a baseline for short-term variations.
Domestic and foreign demand continue to show strength. In the first two months of this year, money supply remained loose, credit expanded steadily, and industrial output and investment saw moderate declines. Exports grew at a high level, while imports rebounded steadily. Domestic demand increased, and raw material prices continued to rise, likely pushing annual inflation slightly higher than anticipated. Corporate profits may see a modest decline, but downstream industries are showing improvement.
Globally, 2006 is expected to see robust economic growth, with the IMF possibly revising its forecasts upward. Zeng Wangda, head of the IMF’s Asia-Pacific Division, noted that China’s economic momentum is strong, with growth potentially reaching around 9.5% this year. Despite a slowdown in domestic macroeconomic conditions, we believe the overall tone remains positive, with actual growth likely exceeding our previous estimate of 9.3%.
A slight tightening of macroeconomic policies is now necessary. Low real interest rates have fueled rapid investment growth, and without adjustments, the economy risks overheating. With domestic demand no longer needing stimulation, exchange rate policy will become a key tool, and appreciation is expected to accelerate. However, the room for adjustment is limited, with the renminbi likely appreciating only 3–5% this year. While this may affect exports, strong external demand should help offset some of the impact. Relying solely on exchange rate adjustments may not be sufficient, so central banks may consider raising reserve requirements or interest rates on excess reserves as alternative measures.
