South African scholar Professor Jaya Josie has hailed China's upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan (FYP) as a game-changer for global investors, calling it a blueprint for 'high-quality growth' in uncertain times. 🚀 The University of the Western Cape academic, who's tracked China's development since South Africa joined BRICS, says the 2026-2030 strategy will create predictability – a rare commodity in today's volatile global economy.
🗓️ The plan, finalized during October's Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, bridges China's modernization goals with its recent achievements. Josie emphasizes this roadmap could reshape everything from tech innovation to sustainable development, offering foreign businesses 'a clearer runway' for long-term partnerships.
💡 Why it matters? With China accounting for nearly 20% of global GDP, this FYP isn't just about domestic policy – it's a compass for international markets. As one of the BRICS nations' leading voices, Josie's analysis suggests 2026-2030 could see Beijing doubling down on green tech and AI while streamlining investment processes.
