CEIBS Global China Economic Outlook 2026
We invite you to attend our CEIBS Global EMBA China Economic Outlook 2026 on January 17, 2026 at the CEIBS Shanghai campus.
About This Event
China's rapid economic growth has come at the cost of distortions in both supply and demand. On the supply side, China suffers from overcapacity; on the demand side, it is overly reliant on external markets. China must promote economic transformation and rebalancing to overcome short-term deflationary pressures and achieve long-term sustainable growth. Moreover, where is the Chinese economy heading amid complex geopolitical risks? We will also conduct an in-depth analysis of the impact of geopolitical risks on the Chinese economy and explore the strategies and future development directions of the Chinese economy, bringing you in-depth insights and cutting-edge perspectives.
The CEIBS Global EMBA programme organises the China Economic Outlook series forum every year, at the beginning of the new year, to analyse the Chinese economy and its links with the global economy, providing perspectives on China's long-term economic development and its impact on industries from both academics and business leaders.
