China becomes second-largest investor in foreign property

Chinese investors pumped $17 billion into overseas property investment during the first five months, becoming the

Short Analysis of Chinese Economy 2016 Q2

China disclosed its mid-year economic health check, featuring indicators that the economy is generally in good

shape and on track for stable economic growth and restructuring.

China's GDP in the second quarter (Q2) was a stable 6.7 percent. Although this is the lowest quarterly rate since the

global financial crisis, it is within the government's range for 2016 of between 6.5 and 7 percent.

Infrastructure investment accelerated, lifting equipment manufacturing and boosting industrial production. Retail

sales growth quickened on the back of a rebound in demand for consumer items. The economy is heading into the

second half (H2) of this year with positive momentum.

The stabilization in growth did not come at the cost of reviving industries bogged down by over capacity, which had

been a concern. Despite a pickup in steel output in June, investment growth has continued to slow. Steel

investment also fell 4.3 percent in June, down from an increase of 4.5 percent in May. Housing inventory

adjustment is in progress, with floor space for sale in June down 21 million square meters from March.

Meanwhile, the new economy is vibrant, new businesses are booming, and new growth momentum is

accumulating. The service industry accounted for over 50 percent of GDP while high-tech production in the

industrial sector grew 10.2 year on year. In addition, consumption contributed over 70 percent to overall GDP

growth in the first six months.
