Preview: A Stabilising Economy, But Long-Term Pain Persists China’s economic figures are likely to stabilise in Oct/Nov 2016, given recent pro-growth policies. Investment and industrial growth will edge up, and retail sales could be supported by solid automobile sales. Also CPI/PPI will mildly increase due to low base effect and rising input prices, and trade figures will gradually rebound given improving numbers in advanced economies and rising commodity prices. But in a longer term, headwinds will remain due to structural problems. Economist:  Zhang Fan| +8621 6288 9611 ext 105
