In 2025, China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) plans to emphasize artificial intelligence applications within its economic strategy, which may impact technological sectors and global investments.
Focus on Artificial Intelligence
China’s NDRC has announced a critical stage for advancing AI within its economic agenda by planning to issue special treasury bonds totaling 300 billion yuan, doubling the amount from 2024, to boost tech-driven sectors.
Leadership and Policy Impact
Under Zheng Shanjie's leadership, Chinese authorities emphasize improving business conditions and fostering international enterprise growth. Jiang, a Senior Official at the NDRC, stated: 'China's clear attitude toward deepening reform and expanding high-standard opening up remains unchanged.' The policy will focus on enhancing the business environment and supporting the growth of international enterprises.
Global Market Implications
Immediate implications may concern stimulating global tech investor sentiment and encouraging foreign investment in China’s tech and manufacturing sectors. While China's financial policy may influence global markets, cryptocurrency activities remain tightly controlled.
The strong emphasis on artificial intelligence in China’s economic policy opens new avenues for technological advancements and may enhance international competitiveness, though regulatory changes could be limited to facilitating international investment.
