China Economic Panel (CEP) by ZEW and Fudan University - Economic Expectations for China Decline Further

In the current survey (February 24 to March 3, 2014) the CEP Indicator of Economic Sentiment for China has worsened by 9.8 points, reaching a value of 10.9 points. The CEP Indicator captures the expectations of financial market experts regarding the economic development in China over the course of the next twelve months.

Since December 2013, the CEP-Indicator has lost almost 20 points. It fits in the clouded picture that economic expectations for China’s important economic regions such al Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou lost ground in this month’s survey, too.

After last month’s decline, the assessment of China’s current economic situation has slightly improved in the current survey. The respective indicator increased by 0.9 points, reaching a value of 10.9 points.
