Next Week In China

Next week will be a significant week for data releases, with over 10 economic reports scheduled. In particular, the August consumer and producer price indices – which are key measures of inflation – as well as credit-related data, deserve extra attention.

There will be no major economic data releases from mainland China to begin September. However, the Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) statistics from Caixin, which focuses on smaller private firms, also warrant attention as a supplement to the official government PMI data.
