The Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce and KBC Group, are pleased to invite you to an in-person event which will take place on December 10, 2024 at 17h00 at KBC Leuven, Brusselsesteenweg 100, 3000 Leuven.

Our distinguished speaker, Mr. Hans Dewachter, Chief Economist, KBC Group, will deliver a speech focusing on "China's stimulus pivot: policy panacea or just another sugar high?"

China faces a number of serious headwinds to growth, ranging from the government's Covid policy to real estate woes and from shifting growth drivers to so-called decoupling. As risks increase, the macroeconomic outlook is not all doom and gloom, but policy decisions will play an important role in shepherding China back towards reaching potential growth rates in 2023 and beyond.
