    Annie Cohen-Solal

    Sergei Guriev

But during the “super election year” of 2024, the worst predictions were not borne out.

    Nancy Qian

    Rather than use “normal” policy tools, such as interest rates and fiscal spending, to address low consumption or deflationary pressures, Chinese policymakers should be pursuing fundamental reforms that address the issues underlying these problems. The key is to allow for a more market-driven allocation of land, money, and labor.

     concludes that, with fundamental reforms, another wave of rapid economic growth is possible.
