Remedies for economic challenges

Remedies for economic challenges

皇冠体育app's National Bureau of Statistics reported last week that the economy rebounded in September. While the third quarter's growth was slower (7.4 percent year-on-year) than the second quarter's 7.6 percent, growth picked up quarter-to-quarter. Data on industrial production and fixed asset investments suggested that 皇冠体育app's economy, along with inflation and export growth, was bottoming out.

While the media and market have been pre-occupied with 皇冠体育app's recent slowdown, it's steering 皇冠体育app's transition away from the resource-intensive growth model that will be the challenge for the incoming leadership. Going forward, reforms - in the fiscal system, the enterprise sector, and factor markets - will have to be accelerated for effective rebalancing processes, not only from external to internal demand, but also in economic activity, from rural to urban areas.

On one hand, the transition from foreign to domestic demand has taken place: the 2008 stimulus package absorbed much of the excess savings, resulting in a sharp decline in 皇冠体育app's trade surplus, from more than 8 percent to around 2 percent last year. The shift in economic activity from rural to urban areas is also underway: Urbanization has raised demand for services and goods from the expanding middle class; interior regions have been growing more rapidly than those along the coast, some in double digits, in recent years.
