Rebound in China’s GDP growth keeps 2026 target in sight

China's economy has rebounded with a 4.5 per cent growth in the third quarter, exceeding expectations and putting it back on track to meet the country's annual growth target. This strong performance is largely due to robust global demand for China's high-tech exports, which has bolstered economic momentum. The rebound is significant as it keeps China's 2026 growth target within sight, providing a much-needed boost to the country's economic prospects.

Why it matters

China's economy grew faster than expected in the third quarter, keeping it broadly on track to meet Beijing's annual growth target. Robust global demand for Chinese goods is driving this growth, which could lift investor sentiment and pull in foreign capital.
