If you thought Chinas 6% growth rate for this years third quarter which indicates that the country is growing at its slowest pace in nearly 30 years was bad, brace for worse. The International Monetary Fund predicts that the Chinese gross domestic product will grow at a rate of 5.8% in 2020, according to its World Economic Outlook published over the weekend. Six months ago, the IMF had forecast a growth rate of 6.1%. The downward revision was triggered by the effects of escalating tariffs and weakening external demand, which have exacerbated the slowdown associated with needed regulatory strengthening to rein in the accumulation of debt, the report states. Among economists, there appears to be a disagreement over which effect is making a greater contribution to the countrys dismal growth prospects. Jennifer Lee, senior economist and director of economic research at BMO Capital Markets, believes that the trade war is to blame. China is still reliant on trade, even though exports as the share of the economy has declined, she said. The tariffs that the U.S. has imposed on Chinas goods that cross over the Pacific are hurting those industries.
