China’s Economy Slowed Down

The Chinese economy weakened further in August as the government implemented strict measures to contain the spreading Covid-19 outbreak, resulting in reduced consumer spending and travel during the summer holiday period.

Compared to last year, the rate of increase in retail sales fell sharply to 2.5 percent. According to the estimates of economists surveyed by Bloomberg, this increase was expected to be at the level of 7 percent. Industrial production, which is expected to increase by 5.8 percent, increased by 5.3 percent. Fixed capital investments increased by 8.9 percent in the first eight months of the year, in line with the expectations. The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 5.1 percent.

In a statement after the data, the Chinese Bureau of Statistics said, “Virus outbreaks and natural disasters have adversely affected the economy. While the economy continued to recover in August, the international environment was complex and challenging, and natural disasters such as domestic virus outbreaks and floods impact the economy. “The economic recovery still needs to be strengthened,” he said.

According to the communiqué published in the Official Gazette dated September 15, the required reserve ratio was increased by 200 basis points. With the amendment made in the second paragraph of article 6 of the Communiqué, the required reserve ratio increased to 23 percent for demand and foreign currency accounts with a maturity of up to one year. The required reserve ratio in foreign currency accounts with maturities of 1 year and longer than one year was 17 percent.
