Can China’s Stimulus Shift Its Economy?

In this podcast episode, the focus is on the economic challenges facing China, exploring the key factors known as the "3Ds": debt, deflation, and demographics. The discussion highlights the surprising policy responses from the People's Bank of China, including interest rate cuts and efforts to support the stock market. The speakers debate whether these measures represent a pivotal moment of commitment from the government. They stress that while these policy changes are significant, more substantial spending is crucial to resolving deeper issues, especially in the housing sector and local government debt. This underscores the importance of closely watching future government strategies.
