The World Bank expects China’s growth to weaken further in 2025 even with a temporary boost from recent stimulus measures, putting extra strain on regional economies.

China's economic growth rate is expected to decline further in 2025 despite a temporary boost from a raft of recent stimulus measures, the World Bank says.

While 2024 witnessed a rebound in services consumption and exports in the world’s second-largest economy, ongoing weaknesses in the property market and low consumer confidence are expected to hinder future growth.

The World Bank has predicted a further slowdown in China’s economic growth in 2025. This potential decline could have significant implications for regional economies in East Asia and the Pacific.
