China: Seeking a Broader Recovery

China's abandonment of COVID-19 controls late in 2022 has reinvigorated the $18 trillion economy that has suffered one of its lowest growth rates in nearly half a century. A recovery of the Chinese economy is in sight for 2023, but the nature and speed of that recovery remain in doubt. As U.S. and European economies are slowing down, a wide-spread assumption by economists is that China's export will barely grow this year due to a drop in demand for Chinese goods, and that growth will mainly come from consumption and investment but less from manufacturing.

In this SwedCham session, Eugenia Fabon Victorino​​, Head of Asia Strategy at SEB​​, will talk us through how she sees China's recovery to pan out and how the country's government policy may evolve throughout the year.
