Mild Inflation, But Investment Growth Remains A Big Concern China will release its monthly economic data for Aug 2016 in the next two weeks’ time. We expect to see some improvements in trade terms, industrial output and PPI; but investment will be continuously dragged down by weak private investment. Overall, economic conditions will remain subdued, and the government will use targeted fiscal stimulus to ensure a soft economic landing and to support supply-side reform.
