China ticking along nicely

China ticking along nicely

Fixed asset investment figures for the first 5 months showed a 33% increase YoY. For May alone it was up 38% YoY. Within that real estate investment in May was up 12% versus a 6% improvement in April.  Despite these big numbers, the stimulus measures continue.

Auto numbers were up by a similar quantum YoY supporting evidence of renewed consumer confidence.

We have said before that China cannot save the world single handed but that it can save itself. The evidence appears supportive.

Ten Seconds Into The Future

“Hello. I’m Burnham Banks and I studied economics in the late 80s and early 90s. I’m still studying economics today and am still no wiser. This blog is a journal, a record of my thoughts and experiences. If we are destined to repeat our mistakes, we should at least repeat them faithfully. If not, then perhaps the past is a mischievous guide and we should try something new.”
