Jobless rate increase biggest recession indicator
The jobless rate sharply increased in China, with the current figure being the highest in the last six months, as per a Bloomberg report. Moreover, factory output and investment also showed major risks in the Chinese economy, which could extend its wings to other parts of the world as well, leading to major economic concerns across the world.
China could end up in a economic spiral
Housing prices showed a sharp drop in recent months, the fastest in the last 10 years, that clearly depicts a lack of confidence in the Chinese economy, and rate cuts have done little to ease up the market scenario. Meanwhile, there are calls from market gurus from across the globe for China to adapt an aggressive policy response, with just a few months left for the end of the financial year in China.
According to reports, the August data of China’s economic outlook will do little to appease investors, as they are very well short of their set targets of a 5% growth in 2024. Moreover, these recent situations are forcing the hands of the authorities to take appropriate steps to take matters in their own hands before it is too late, and put the economy of China back on track.
