The National Bureau of Statistics reported that China's gross domestic product grew 4.3% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2026, falling short of the 4.5% market consensus. On a quarterly basis, GDP expanded 0.9% in Q2, decelerating from 1.3% growth in the first quarter.
The data comes amid ongoing concerns about the pace of China's economic recovery. The slower quarterly reading may add pressure on policymakers to consider additional stimulus measures.
