China Sets 2026 GDP Growth Target at 4.5 to 5 Percent

At the Two Sessions, China announced a 2026 GDP growth target of 4.5 to 5 percent — the lowest official growth target in the country recorded history.

China's government stated that this year's economic growth target is 4.5 to 5 percent.

This is China's lowest growth target in history.

In the first two months of this year, China's exports increased by 22 percent.

This figure exceeded many people's expectations and was even better.

Retail sales also increased by 2.8 percent.

However, the real estate market still faces many problems.

Experts believe China can achieve this year's economic growth target.
