About this episode
The episode discusses China's unexpected economic growth in the first quarter of the year, analyzing the factors behind it.
China’s economy has kicked off the year stronger than expected, with first-quarter GDP expanding 5% despite global energy shocks and supply chain disruptions. Gary Ng, a senior analyst at Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking, gives us an analysis of these numbers driven largely by industrial output, while domestic demand remains soft.
