China's economic growth slowed to 4.5% in Q4 2025, the weakest in nearly three years, as domestic demand weakened. Full-year growth met the target at 5%, despite trade frictions with the U.S. and a real estate slump. Retail sales grew 0.9% in December, below forecasts, while industrial output rose 5.2%. Fixed-asset investment fell 3.8%, worse than expected. The urban unemployment rate remained at 5.1%. Resilience in 2025 was aided by lower tariffs and exporters diversifying away from the U.S.

- China's economic growth slowed to its lowest level in nearly three years in the fourth quarter of 2023, achieving a GDP increase of 4.5%, down from 4.8% in the third quarter.  
- Despite meeting the annual growth target of approximately 5%, domestic demand weakened with a decline in retail sales growth to 0.9% in December, missing economists' expectations.  
- Fixed asset investment shrank by 3.8% last year, influenced by ongoing challenges in the real estate sector, while industrial output showed improvement with a 5.2% rise in December.

China's economy grew 4.5% in Q4 2025, slightly above the 4.4% forecast, aligning with the government's annual target of 5%. This growth marks the slowest pace in three years, attributed to weakened consumption and investment. On a quarterly basis, GDP rose 1.2%, surpassing the expected 1.0%. Despite a record trade surplus, domestic demand has weakened due to low confidence amid a prolonged property crisis.

- Official data shows that China's economy grew by 4.5% year-on-year in the fourth quarter, slightly above analysts' expectations, aligning with the government's annual growth target.  
- Analysts had predicted a growth of 4.4% for the fourth quarter, indicating a slowdown from the 4.8% growth in the third quarter due to weak consumption and investment, marking the slowest growth in three years.  
- In 2025, China's economy, as the world's second-largest, grew by 5.0%, achieving the government's target, while the trade surplus reached a record high despite weakened domestic demand from a prolonged real estate crisis.

Everbright Securities released a research report stating that although Hong Kong stocks have risen for several consecutive months, the overall valuation remains low, making long-term allocation cost-effective. Against the backdrop of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut cycle and the continuous development of the AI industry, Hong Kong stocks may continue to experience fluctuations and upward trends in the future. In October, the A-share and Hong Kong stock markets showed mixed performance, with major indices fluctuating and significant differentiation in industry performance. In the medium term, attention should be paid to the TMT and advanced manufacturing sectors, and if the market fluctuates, focus should be on high-dividend and consumer sectors

- According to Everbright Securities, the A-share and Hong Kong stock markets experienced volatility in October, with the Hang Seng Index showing strong overall profitability despite low valuations.  
- The report highlights that while the Hong Kong market has risen for several months, it remains attractive for long-term investment, particularly in TMT and advanced manufacturing sectors, with a focus on high-dividend and consumer stocks during market fluctuations.  
- Factors such as ongoing AI industry trends and the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts may support a continued upward trend in the Hong Kong market.
