January 29, 2026 — Beijing
China’s top economic planners signalled stronger support for growth on Thursday, saying the government is prepared to introduce additional policy measures to stabilise the economy amid weak consumer demand and slowing private investment. The statement came during a high-level briefing in Beijing, where officials acknowledged mounting pressure on small businesses and the property sector.
Authorities said fiscal spending would be accelerated in early 2026, with a focus on infrastructure, manufacturing upgrades, and support for technology firms. Regulators also hinted at more targeted measures to ease financing conditions for small and medium-sized enterprises, while stressing that large-scale stimulus would be used cautiously to avoid financial risks.
The comments quickly gained attention across Chinese and global markets, as investors look for clearer signals on interest rates, property support, and government spending priorities. Analysts say the tone reflects Beijing’s effort to reassure businesses and consumers while maintaining long-term financial stability.
