SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #11: Can China achieve its 2022 GDP growth target of 5.5%?
DESCRIPTION:Global China Conversations #11\nCan China achieve its 2022 GDP growth target of 5.5%?\nJune 16\, 2022\, 2pm – 3pm CEST\nOnline via Zoom: Please register here. \nSpeakers:\nProf. Dr. Helge Berger\, IMF\nProf. Dr. Justin Yifu Lin\, Peking University\n \nIn early March\, China announced its ambitious economic growth target of 5.5% for 2022. Over the past two months\, however\, both the national and the global economic environments became even more challenging for China to achieve this development goal. The unprecedentedly strict\, large-scale and long-lasting lockdowns in Shanghai and other cities in China have strongly restricted normal business operations\, compounded supply chain disruptions and weighed down spending on consumption. Global economic pressure has increased too. The war in Ukraine has slowed the global economic recovery and fueled global inflation. \nDespite these challenges\, some Chinese experts are convinced that achieving the GDP growth target is still possible with effective counter-cyclical policy measures and if China can succeed in its dynamic Null-Covid policy soon. On the contrary\, experts from the West are now even more pessimistic than before. In April\, the IMF\, for example\, again downgraded China’s economic growth forecast for this year to only 4.4%. \nWhy are there so different economic forecasts for China? Do experts from China and abroad assess the relevance of economic challenges for China\, the Chinese government’s policy latitude or the strength/weakness of the Chinese economy differently? What kind of role do international trade and foreign investments play for China to achieve (or not) its GDP growth target? What can China and the Chinese government still do to support its economic development? \n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nProf. Dr. Helge Berger  \nHelge Berger is the IMF’s China mission chief and Assistant Director in the IMF’s Asia and Pacific Department.
