China aims for a 4.5-5.0% GDP growth target in 2026, prioritizing fiscal stability while balancing growth and investor confidence amid global uncertainties.
TD Securities’ Senior Macro Strategist Alex Loo announced that Chinese policymakers aim for a moderate GDP growth target of 4.5-5.0% in 2026, with TD forecasting a 4.6% increase. The latest budget maintains an accommodative fiscal policy but steers clear of large impulses similar to those seen in 2025.
