China’s real estate sector has been struggling, and the country’s reliance on debt in recent years presents a burden to its economic recovery.
Could China’s rising debt counteract economic recovery, and potentially trigger crises in the years to come? How do we evaluate China’s debt sustainability in comparison to other major economies? What is the sustainable economic growth trajectory for countries with heavy debt burdens?
The BCECC has invited Mr. Ludger Schuknecht of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank to delve into global debt issues during its webinar “Debt sustainability in the world: A global perspective” on December 19, 2023 at 10:00 CET (17:00 CST).
