FX.co ★ China Q3 GDP Growth Weakest in A Year

In the third quarter of 2025, China's economy grew by 4.8% compared to the same period last year. This represents a slowdown from the 5.2% growth seen in the second quarter and marks the slowest growth rate since the third quarter of 2024. Although this figure matched market predictions, it's evident that the GDP growth has been gradually decelerating following a robust start to the year. Contributing factors include ongoing trade tensions with the U.S., a continuous downturn in the property sector, and tepid consumer demand. Over the first nine months of this year, the economy achieved a growth rate of 5.2%.
