It will then walk through problematic terms in subcontracts that companies are being pressured to sign.

Join S&P Global Ratings’ Chief Economist Louis Kuijs as he discusses the growth of China’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is forecasted to ease to 4.6% in 2024 amid continued property weakness and modest policy stimulus. Although Consumer Price Index (CPI) deflation is unlikely, a lack of rebalancing towards consumption will weigh on prices and profit margins. And while China’s export structure is evolving in the face of global supply chain shifts, growth will slow but catchup with U.S. will continue in the long term.

In the rest of the Asia-Pacific, exports will continue to rise, but in developed economies inflation and restrictive interest rates will weigh on growth. Louis will explore the expectations of the region’s robust GDP growth in light of inflation easing, and pressure on central banks to lower interest rates. He will also share his thoughts on whether supply chain adjustment could be slower than suggested by mainstream press.
