China’s Stimulus Sparks Market Optimism, Morgan Stanley Says

China’s latest economic policies are lighting up investor confidence and energizing businesses, according to Morgan Stanley’s top Asia economist Chetan Ahya. Speaking at the 2024 Financial Street Forum, Ahya told CGTN that targeted stimulus measures are creating a ‘ripple effect’ across markets .

‘The focus on social security spending—think healthcare, education, and housing—is a smart play,’ Ahya said. He emphasized that this approach could balance investment and consumption, making growth more sustainable. For young entrepreneurs eyeing Asia’s markets, this signals stability and long-term opportunities .

Here’s the kicker: Morgan Stanley predicts China will drive 25-30% of global growth in the coming years. Why? Its sheer economic size and steady expansion pace.

For globetrotting professionals and students tracking trends, this means keeping an eye on sectors like green tech and AI—areas where China is doubling down. As Ahya put it, ‘The story isn’t just about recovery; it’s about redefining growth.’
