On December 11, 2025, the Central Economic Work Conference concluded in Beijing, laying out the roadmap for China's economic work in 2026. Following the conference, several Chinese authorities have rolled out key measures aimed at stabilizing growth, boosting domestic demand, and deepening reforms.
Here's a quick look at the top priorities: 🔍
- Stabilizing investment: The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) plans to leverage government investment funds, ramp up central budget investment, and introduce new policy-based financial instruments.
- Invigorating private investment: Efforts to improve consumer goods trade-in programs and cultivate new growth drivers are set to attract more private capital.
- Boosting consumption: A joint circular from the Ministry of Commerce, the People's Bank of China, and the National Financial Regulatory Administration calls for coordinated support between local commerce and financial authorities to guide credit into key consumption sectors with financing guarantees and loan interest subsidies.
- Expanding opening-up: High-standard opening-up policies will be further extended to welcome more international business and innovation.
For young entrepreneurs and investors, 2026 could be a year of fresh opportunities as China sharpens its focus on domestic demand and market reform. 🌱💼
Stay tuned as we track how these policies play out in the coming months and what they mean for markets across Asia and beyond. 🚀
