After a turbulent start to President Trump's second term, the storm seems to have calmed. Attention is now turning towards China's policy response in the second half of 2025. How will the anti-involution drive play out, and what additional stimulus measures may be introduced to support growth?

We are pleased to invite you to an exclusive NBA event, where Kelly Chen, DNB's Senior Economist specializing in the Chinese economy, will deliver a timely update and analysis of China's latest macroeconomic developments and policy outlook.

The seminar will provide insights into how recent policy adjustments are shaping China's growth trajectory, with a particular focus on structural reforms, domestic demand, and the evolving balance between stability and stimulus. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the broader implications for global business and gain a clearer understanding of how these shifts may affect strategy and operations in China.

This event is part of NBA's China Outlook series, designed to provide member company executives both in China and internationally with a grounded perspective on China's economic direction. Through this session, we aim to equip managers in China with valuable knowledge to communicate effectively with their global headquarters about the realities of the local market.

The seminar will be conducted as a hybrid session, with options for both in-person and online participation. In-person attendees will also enjoy extended discussion and networking opportunities following the presentation.
