But investors have clamored for fiscal interventions economists believe are crucial to lifting confidence.Onshore Chinese shares remained volatile throughout the week after ending a 10-day rally on Wednesday, as officials disappointed by announcing no major new stimulus following a weeklong holiday.“Government agencies are now expected to feel the pulse of the market before publishing policies,” said Ding Shuang, chief economist for Greater China and North Asia at Standard Chartered Plc. “They should avoid letting expectations climb and crash to deal a blow to market sentiment.”Most of the respondents, including economists, strategists and fund managers, expect new fiscal stimulus in the next six months if Finance Minister Lan Fo’an doesn’t announce it Saturday.They forecast China will sell more government debt to expand public spending through the end of next year, with special bonds being the most likely option. Four respondents anticipate a package exceeding 3 trillion yuan.A portion of the stimulus is expected to target consumption, which has been a weak spot in China’s post-pandemic recovery. Respondents said the measures may include:More subsidies for targeted groups, such as the elderly and the poorConsumption vouchersMore support for families with childrenGreater social safety netMore subsidies for buying consumer goods and carsBoosting consumption would help rebalance the economy and reduce its reliance on exports to drive growth amid rising trade tensions, although Beijing has refrained from direct handouts on a massive scale due to concerns over what it calls “welfarism.”China typically relied on infrastructure investment to lift the economy out of past downturns. But a saturation of infrastructure after decades of urbanization means throwing money at the sector may be less effective in spurring growth this time around.What Bloomberg Economics Says...“At the core of the faltering economy are the property slump and dire financial health of local governments – a toxic combination that poses unique policy challenges. The government has shown new thinking to address them. Going forward, we expect a period of exploration and experimentation with new tools applied in different areas and at different scales and pace.”— Chang Shu, David Qu and Eric Zhu. For full analysisGiven the growing challenge of finding quality projects to invest in, some respondents expect the finance minister to relax curbs on the use of special local bonds and allow the funds to be used for purposes such as buying back land or buildings from developers.China’s gross domestic product expanded at the weakest pace in five quarters in April-June. Data since then has suggested domestic demand remained subdued, with deflation showing signs of spiraling amid sluggish consumer and business confidence.Economists have for months called on the government to ramp up public spending to pick up the slack, but mounting local debt risks and slumping revenue from land sales have been holding the authorities back.Fiscal policy so far in 2024 has been a drag on the economy, with broad budget spending shrinking nearly 3% in the first eight months from a year earlier, falling far behind a planned increase in the government’s budget report in March.Some respondents suggest the central government will borrow more to ease fiscal strains at local levels, such as by swapping so-called “hidden” debt of China’s regions for bonds carrying lower interest costs. Beijing could also increase transfer payments to help localities meet daily spending needs such as paying civil servants.China already planned to sell nearly 9 trillion yuan in new government bonds this year to help plug a broad government spending shortfall, according to the annual budget. Any new quota on top of that will have to be approved by the National People’s Congress or its executive body, the Standing Committee.Tapping unused bond allowance saved from previous years generally won’t need to go through the national legislature. The central and provincial governments have a total of about 2 trillion yuan in such unspent quotas left to use as of the end of 2023, according to official data.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
