IMF: China’s Economic Growth Expected to Reach 4.8% in 2025
Rabat / Meryem Hafiani
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has projected China’s economic growth to reach 4.8% in 2025, up from a previous estimate of 4%, based on the strong performance the Chinese economy demonstrated during the first half of the year. This revision reflects China’s ability to maintain positive economic momentum despite global challenges, as well as the impact of reduced tariffs between China and the United States, which has helped boost trade and investment activity.
China’s GDP for the first quarter of 2025 showed tangible signs of recovery, supported by increased inventories and improved domestic consumption, demonstrating the resilience of the Chinese economy and its capacity to withstand external shocks. Despite this positive performance, the IMF notes a slight rise in core inflation, expected to reach 0.5% over the year, while overall inflation remains under control.
The report indicates that China’s economic growth is expected to continue, strengthening the country’s global economic position and confirming its role as a major player in the international economy, benefiting from supportive trade policies and strong domestic performance that raise growth expectations and reinforce confidence in the stability of its economy in the near term.
