- On the other hand, reflecting a desire for more sustainable growth there has not been enough stimulus to ensure a strong rebound. Rather, growth this year is likely to come in around 8%, similar to last year’s 7.8%.
- Chinese shares remain cheap. While periodic growth worries are likely to constrain returns they are nevertheless likely to be reasonable this year.
