About this Event
The International Monetary Fund and the Asia Society Policy Institute’s Center for China Analysis invite you to join an in-person launch and policy discussion of the IMF’s new book, Toward a New Economic Growth Model for China.
China’s economic transformation over the past several decades has been extraordinary. Market-oriented reforms, high investment, and global integration have propelled growth, supported industrialization, raised living standards, and made China a major contributor to the global economy.
China is now entering a new stage of development. Slower productivity growth, demographic change, property-sector adjustment, elevated debt, and weaker business dynamism are placing increasing constraints on the traditional investment- and export-led growth model.
examines why the current model has run its course and discusses how a reshaping of incentives, rebalancing of the economy, and reforming policy frameworks could support a more sustainable growth model. The new model would deliver stronger consumption, higher welfare, healthier growth, and lower financial vulnerabilities.
The event will feature opening remarks from Krishna Srinivasan, Director of the IMF’s Asia and Pacific Department (APD), followed by a presentation of the book’s key findings by co-author Sonali Jain-Chandra, Deputy Director of the IMF’s APD. Srinivasan will then join co-author Thomas Delbling, Deputy Director of the IMF’s APD, Daniel H. Rosen, Co-founder and Partner at Rhodium Group, and Tianlei Huang, Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, for a discussion on China’s evolving growth model and economic outlook.
Jing Qian, Vice President of Asia Society and Co-Founder and Managing Director of the Center for China Analysis at Asia Society Policy Institute, will moderate the discussion.
The program will conclude with audience Q&A.
Attendees will receive a complimentary copy of Toward a New Economic Growth Model for China, available while supplies last.
