China's economy maintains momentum in challenging conditions

The China Economic Quarterly is a market outlook prepared on a quarterly basis by PwC to share the latest economic and policy updates. In this inaugural issue, we provide an analysis of major economic indicators in China for the first half of 2016, summarise the main policy developments and discuss hot topics of interest including features on the future trajectory of the renminbi (RMB) and the implications of Brexit for Chinese investors.

According to key economic data released by China's National Bureau of Statistics for the first half of 2016, China's economy expanded 6.7 percent year-on-year in the second quarter of 2016, holding steady from the first quarter and meeting market expectations.
