China's per‑capita disposable income rose 5.0% in 2025 to 43,377 yuan, with rural incomes growing faster than urban ones though remaining far lower in level.

China’s December Energy Snapshot: Coal Eases While Gas and Refining Tick Up
China’s December 2025 energy data showed a small decline in coal production, stable crude output, faster refinery throughput, steady growth in natural gas production, and marginally higher power generation.

China’s fixed‑asset investment fell 3.8% in 2025 to RMB 485,186 billion, driven by a steep decline in services spending and weak private and foreign investment.

The results reflect persistent demand weakness and tighter credit, posing risks to growth, employment and local government finances while leaving policymakers with limited but targeted easing options.
China’s Industrial Output Ends 2025 Stronger but Uneven: Tech and Transport Up, Steel and Cement Down
China's industrial value added for large firms rose 5.2% year on year in December and 5.9% for 2025, with manufacturing and high‑tech sectors outperforming traditional heavy industries. Strong gains in electronics, transport equipment and new energy vehicles contrast with declines in steel and cement, reflecting an ongoing rebalancing of domestic demand and industrial structure.
China’s Housing Market Shows Broad Weakness in December, but Shanghai Stands Out
December 2025 data from China’s National Bureau of Statistics show nationwide declines in both new and second‑hand residential prices across most cities, with year‑on‑year falls widening.
