China Quarterly GDP Growth Weakest in 3 Years

The Chinese economy grew by 1.4 percent quarter-on-quarter in the three months to March 2019, compared to a 1.5 percent expansion in the previous period and in line with market estimates. It was the weakest quarterly growth rate since the first quarter of 2016.

Year-on-year, the economy advanced 6.4 percent in the three months to March 2019, the same pace as in the previous period and slightly above market expectations of a 6.3 percent expansion. It remained the lowest growth rate since the global financial crisis, amid intense trade conflict with the US, softening domestic demand and alarming off-balance-sheet borrowings by local governments.

In China, the growth rate in GDP measures the change in the seasonally adjusted value of the goods and services produced by the Chinese economy during the quarter. As China’s traditional growth engines of manufacturing and construction are slowing down, services have emerged as the new driver. In the last few quarters strength in services and consumption helped to offset weaker manufacturing and exports. .
