China's economy grew much slower than expected in the second quarter, dragged down by a prolonged
00:07
property crisis and job insecurity despite a strong beginning to the year. It's led to
00:12
expectations that Beijing may need to unleash even more stimulus. Official data showed the
00:17
world's second largest economy grew at 4.7 percent, the slowest since the first quarter
00:22
of 2023 and missing a 5.1 percent forecast. The years-long property downturn deepened
00:29
in June as new home prices fell at the fastest pace in nine years. Particular worry surrounds
00:35
growth in retail. Businesses were forced to slash prices on everything from clothes to
00:40
cars under deflationary pressure. Analysts say to expect cutting debt and boosting confidence
00:45
to be the main focus at this week's third-party plenum, a key economic meeting that happens
00:51
every five years. The government has been aiming for economic growth of 5 percent in
00:55
2024, a target that many think is too ambitious. To counteract weak domestic demand and property
01:03
problems, China has already increased infrastructure investment and is focusing on high-tech manufacturing.
01:09
Though now analysts at Citi, polled by Reuters, say they expect further measures to support
01:15
property are coming after a meeting of the Politburo later this month.
