PBOC’s Yi: China growth rate is right around 6%

Comments from Yi in Finland:

  • Shrinking labour market supply is one factor in slower growth
  • Increasing environmental standards also hurting growth
  • China labour supply peaked in 2010-2011
  • Growth rate will moderate as economy grows
  • Current account surplus to stay below 1% of GDP
  • Economy is basically driven by domestic demand
  • Consumption is now 2/3 of growth
  • China still has plenty of savings

Nothing surprising in the comments.
