China Stimulus Package

China's economy is grappling with serious hurdles, even as consumer spending surged during the Lunar New Year. While January's Consumer Price Index ticked up by 0.5%, deflation looms due to sluggish domestic consumption and U.S. tariffs. In response, the government is rolling out an 81 billion yuan stimulus package to reignite growth and foster recovery.
