Major Banks Doubt Chinese Potential GDP Goal Is Reachable

03:31am, Friday, 04'th Mar 2022 Zero Hedge
Major Banks Doubt Chinese Potential GDP Goal Is Reachable By Ye Xie, Bloomberg Markets Live Reporter and Analyst Beijing is widely expected to set the growth target this year at 5%-5.5% when top officials lay out their economic policies at the National People’s Congress starting this weekend. A number of high-profile economists at Goldman Sachs, Nomura and Bank of America are skeptical that such a target is attainable. It underscores the challenges Beijing is facing with significant constraints from its housing and Covid policies. In retrospect, many investors underestimated the significance when Beijing set its 2021 GDP target at a low level (“above 6%”) earlier last year. It turned out that Beijing planned to take advantage of the relatively strong post-Covid recovery to unleash a range of far-reaching and economically costly reforms, from regulatory crackdowns in tech industries to housing deleveraging. China managed to grow 8.1% last year. But by Q4, growth decelerated to an annualized 4%, well below the potential GDP that officials estimate to be about 5%-5.7%.
