China’s second-quarter growth slows to the weakest pace since 2022

The quarter undershot Beijing’s full-year growth target range of 4.5% to 5%, prompting fresh calls for more stimulus.

CNBC reports that China’s second-quarter economic growth slowed to the weakest pace since 2022, as investment weakened.

According to CNBC, the second-quarter figure came in below Beijing’s full-year growth target range of 4.5% to 5%, which the outlet describes as the least ambitious goal in decades.

The slower growth has fueled renewed pressure for additional stimulus measures, CNBC adds.
