The Growth Of China

It is this that has sparked China’s vulnerability to external shocks. In 2011, China’s exports amassed almost $2 trillion, however in Feb 2012, China recorded a $31.5 billion trade deficit as a result of the European sovereign debt crisis in which China’s main trading partners plunged into recession. China’s severe BOGS decrease is an attempt to control growth and a sustained level of 7.5%. Investment policies are also critical for China to achieve economic growth and development. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in China is being sought primarily in the redesign of State Owned Enterprises (SOE’s) and in the development of interior provinces. Between 75-80% of World Bank loans to China in 2008 were directed to the central and western regions, the most economically disadvantaged. This promotes increased wealth within China, leading to higher levels of development due to a more positive Human Development Index (HDI), which currently sits at 0.687, up from 0.677 in 2010. Thus, trade and investment are critical factors in ensuring that China’s growth remains sustained at 7.5% whilst still encouraging increases in development.

The Chinese president is looking to boost consumption and import as part of efforts to restructure its economy (Hu Looks to Boost China's Consumption, Imports, (April 15, 2011). The Chinese energy consumption has been predicted to soar to 68% higher than that of the USA by the year 2035(China, India to lead energy consumption, (September 20, 2011). Investment spending is also set to increase from $12,633 billion (2011, 48% of GDP) to $29,628 billion by 2030 (38% of GDP) (CHINA - Gross fixed investment (% of GDP) from 2011 to 2030, EIU Country Data). In 2006 China had a rating of 5.00 and was seen ranked at 101st in terms of the degree of economic freedom as measured

Since the reform and opening up, the economy of China grows significantly, as an emerging economy, China's economy has made tremendous contributions to the global economy, and Renminbi has become one of the most important currency in the world. According to the survey conducted by China National Bureau of Statistics found that from 1979 to 2012, China has attained an annual average growth rate of 9.8% for its national economy, while the annual average growth of the world economy is only 2.8 % during the same period. In past 30 years, China's GDP surpassed Japan’s, China became the world 's second largest economy, in addition, the huge total volume of trade makes China become the world 's largest trading nation. The contribution of China’s

In 2008, the Global Financial Crisis broke out; both the American economy and the economy in the West suffered a hard blow. However, a big economy system in the East emerged unexpectedly. China is now able to challenge the America’s decades-long dominant position in economic area. Started during the middle of 1990s, China’s manufacturing industry developed rapidly that billions of exports were floating out, and China was given the title of “the world’s factory”(BBC). By the end of 2010, China with a GDP of $5.8 trillion, surpassed Japan’s GDP of $5.48 trillion, became the world’s second largest economy system (BBC). China also exceeded Japan became America’s largest foreign securities holder. Since then, China has been seen as the US’s

The fastest growing sectors of China’s economy are healthcare, technology, education, and entertainment. This is attributed to urban households spending 40% of their consumption on these services including travel an

China, the most populous country in the world, has experienced an abnormal growth rate in Gross Domestic Product over the past decades. However, facts and statistics indicate an economic growth slowdown of the Asian giant.

China had a GDP per capita level similar to Zambia, less than half of the Asian average and was lower than two-thirds of the African average at the outset of the reforms in 1978 (Eckart, 2016). China was poor. Since then, China has grown exponentially experiencing nearly 10% GDP grown per year until 2014 raising GDP from 155 current US Dollars in 1978 to 7,590 US Dollars in 2014 (Eckart, 2016). China, who accounts for 18% of the world’s population, was able to lift 800 million people out of poverty and growth in the middle class. This document will examine China’s financial and currency markets.

In the National People’s Congress press conference in March 2007, China’s Premier Wen Jiabao argues the biggest problem with China’s economy is that its economic growth is unstable, unbalanced, uncoordinated, and unsustainable. Since export and investment play unsustainable roles in increasing China’s real GDP, this study tries to testify how consumption enhances the sustainability of China’s real GDP in the short run over a long period of time. As Krugman (1994) suggests, increase in the economic growth rate in the steady state can only be attained by the technological progress. However, it is also true that the increase in consumption will increase the real GDP in the short run. Based on the fact that the current ratio of consumption over output in China is much smaller than that of other countries, such as Japan and the United States, a higher ratio will increase China’s real GDP in the short run. Since it takes several years for China to change its economic structure toward consumption, the accumulation of each larger real GDP in the short run will result in a much larger real GDP in the long run. In other words, the increase in consumption will increase China’s economic growth rate indirectly. Therefore, this study uses a macroeconmetric model of Chinese economy to quantify what China’s real GDP would be in a series of increases in the ratio of consumption over output, spread over a long period of time and predicts what China’s real GDP level will be in the future

China’s growth rate is plummeting in recent years and is showing signs of falling further in coming years. Governments effort such as monetary stimulus, stock market bubble and bond market bubble has failed to stabilize economy, making only small and temporary effects. Authorities are trying to boost investment demand through monetary policy but industries already are in state of overcapacity; a result of force saving policies; and therefore real effect is showing as weakness in currency exchange. Commodity market is collapsing in greater rate each year and situation seems like Chinese economy might be moving toward depression.

In the recent past, China’s economy has grown at a high rate attracting the attention of the foreign investors. Its gross domestic product has also been high, with the year 2014 recording the highest figure of over ten percent of the world’s economy. The overall structure of its economy has also improved; the unemployment rates have gone down with prices rising at a moderate rate. It is always clear that with a high rate of unemployment within a country, the income levels also tend to be low affecting the living standards of the people, which in turn results to lower productivity levels in the country. Regardless of maintaining a positive balance of payments, the country’s economy also faces some challenges. “China’s economy is facing economic challenge regarding possibilities of deflationary risks” (Mulroney 15). Its economy is also experiencing relatively high costs incurred during the financing of the enterprises. The local governments are overburdened with massive amounts of debts that need to be clear. All these challenges are slowing down the rate of its economic growth.

Since the Chinese economic reform beginning in 1978, China has witnessed an economic miracle. China’s annual GDP growth has been around 9.5% - 11.5% per year from 1978 to 2013, and GDP per capita has grown to RMB 41,908 in 2013 from RMB 381 in 1978 (National Bureau of Statistics of China, 2014). The opening up of Chinese economy to foreign investments, loosening regulations, and boost of private sectors etc., have all contributed to this economic miracle. China not only supported the growth of the East Asian Tigers, but also was widely considered as the world engine thereafter.

China is one of the greatest macroeconomic success stories of the current generation. The People’s Republic of China has in a little less than half a century moved to arguably be one of the greatest economies in the world. Indeed, some may even argue that it is the greatest. This, as per the Kindleberger/Minsky model, is a major cause for worry and not celebration. Indeed, around the year 2015, the Chinese economy was doing so well that it was attracting an avalanche of investors. Companies such as Beijing Baofeng Technology Company would have their stocks appreciating at astronomical levels of up to 10% per day. Money managers and experts from around the world and even the USA were exhorting investors to buy Chinese stakes. The government

The Chinese government are encouraging home-grown companies to sell to the domestic market through states subsidisation of domestic firms, and a corresponding cut in export subsidies. The market transformation from a ‘Buy China’ to a “Made in China, Designed by Chinese, for Chinese” is reflected in the record-breaking number of patents filed by Chinese innovators. The end of ‘cheap China’ has partly triggered the rise of ‘consuming China’. China’s government is trying to boost incomes and, ultimately, consumption. The increase in incomes has led to higher living standards

The exceptional growth of China’s economy after opening itself to the global markets is one of the biggest examples of transformation of a Country. Within the span of 35 years, from being one of the poorest countries it emerged as the 2nd biggest economies.

According to China Highlights, prior to 1978, China maintained a command economy. Then, China launched multiple economic reforms. The central government made incentives for farmers. It also established Special Economic Zones along the coast of china for the purpose of attracting foreign investors. China’s entry into the WTO in 2001 has been one of the best influential factors in shaping the Chinese economy. As a result, the implementation of new commercial laws, as well as a huge influx of foreign direct investment, has extensively liberalized the economy. China’s economy grew at an average rate of about 10% per year during the period 1990-2006, which was the highest growth rate in the world, and promises future growth to come. The average of the country’s GDP will be around 8.5 percent in 2012 and 2013, according to a report from the rating agency Moody’s Investors Service. China would still reach US$40 trillion in GDP by 2054. China is the second largest economy in the world after the U.S. China’s trade surplus hit a record US$262.2 billion in 2007, overtaking Japan to become the world 's third largest trading nation, right after the US and Germany.
