China Sets Lowest Economic Growth Target in Decades
China has set its economic growth target at 4.5% to 5% for 2026, marking the lowest range since 1991. This decision comes amid various challenges including deflation and global economic uncertainties. The country is signaling a new era of slower growth and aims to implement more proactive fiscal policies and stimulus plans to support its economy. Experts suggest that this target will allow for policy flexibility while emphasizing a commitment to stable growth despite mounting pressures.
