China's economic environment shows tentative signs of stabilization as recent policy adjustments aim to balance ongoing pressures. Household demand remains constrained, and the property sector continues to face downward pressures, yet supportive measures in key areas are fostering gradual resilience, providing a cautiously optimistic outlook.

We are pleased to invite you to an exclusive NBA event, where Kelly Chen, DNB's Senior Economist specializing in the Chinese economy, will provide updated insights and analyses on China's latest economic trends and forward-looking prospects.

The seminar will include a focused discussion on the persistent challenges in China's real estate sector, as well as emerging policy shifts aimed at fostering stability and growth. Attendees will have the opportunity to delve into the implications for various industries and explore strategies for adapting to an evolving economic environment in China.

This event is part of our China Outlook series, tailored for NBA member company executives both in China and at their international headquarters. With this session, we aim to bridge critical knowledge gaps, enhancing the ability of managers in China to communicate the realities of the local market to their global counterparts.
