China ResearchGraphic: Provincial Economic Risk Assessment - Trends and Drivers

Our recently-released "Economic Risks in China—A Provincial View" mapped sub-national economic risk in China and showed that economic risk levels were increasing while the divergence between provinces was widening. In this latest piece, we further analyze provincial economic risk dynamics by focusing on the primary drivers of this divergence: growth volatility, debt, structural diversity, industrial development, and government finance. For MNC business planners, understanding these dynamics will be of vital importance to effective market targeting and risk management.
