China’s gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 3 per cent year on year (YoY) to a high of 121.0207 trillion yuan ($17.95 trillion) last year, according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the GDP increased by 2.9 per cent YoY.
The GDP is projected to grow by 4.3 per cent this year, 0.9 percentage point below previous forecasts, according to the World Bank. The downward revisions reflect COVID-related disruptions and protracted weakness in the real estate sector in China.
The country worked on the targets of peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality with well-conceived and systematic steps.
