According to the latest forecast for China’s GDP growth by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), growth is to increase from 3 percent in 2022 to 5.2 percent in 2023 driven by a rebound in private consumption amid the earlier-than-anticipated reopening in China. This growth forecast is subject to a high degree of uncertainty, including due to the future evolution of the coronavirus. EPA-EFE/WU HAO
