1+1 Masterclass Seoul: China's Economy: Diagnosis and Perspectives
We cordially invite you to attend our exclusive 1+1 Masterclass on “China’s Economy: Diagnosis and Perspectives” in Seoul on August 20, 2024.
About the lecture
Relative to its decades of double-digit expansion, China's economy has been experiencing slower growth rates in recent years. Policymakers are now trying to guide a transition from an investment- and export-driven growth model to one focused on consumption and services; however, this is not an easy task amid myriad global and domestic challenges, let alone the fact that China still hasn’t completely shrugged off its recent deflationary pressures.
At this Masterclass, CEIBS Assistant Professor of Economics Howei Wu will provide a diagnosis of the current state of the Chinese economy and analyse its future outlook, using key economic data and common demand-side policies.
