Thesis
The bullish thesis for China's Supply Side in 2025 hinges on expectations that aggressive fiscal stimulus from Beijing, primarily via central government borrowing, will stabilize economic growth and improve productivity, particularly in infrastructure and investment sectors. Policy adjustments, including targeted support for construction, energy, and infrastructure, underpin this supply-side optimism.
Bull case
Centralized Fiscal Stimulus: Large, centrally driven fiscal stimulus measures have been signaled, expected to support local governments and investment-intensive industries directly
Reduced Local Debt Risks: China's central government is addressing local government financing vehicle (LGFV) issues through managed restructuring, thus mitigating systemic financial risks
High Productivity Sectors: Strong government backing is driving growth in productivity-heavy sectors, especially in infrastructure, energy, and telecom, resulting in robust output and economic stabilization
Bear case
Ineffective Stimulus Implementation: Repeated stimulus attempts without meaningful outcomes may further erode investor confidence and fail to spur genuine economic growth
Debt Sustainability Concerns: Continued fiscal stimulus risks exacerbating China's high government debt levels, potentially threatening longer-term fiscal sustainability despite current low borrowing costs
External Tariff Pressures: Ongoing trade conflicts and new tariffs from the U.S. and other regions may significantly disrupt export-oriented industries and reduce effectiveness of supply-side stimulus
