Eyes will be on the l Lujiazui forum due later this month, where top financial regulators will deliver keynote speeches. Government officials said last month that major financial policies will be revealed then.
Residential sales continued to fall in May. An often overlooked pool of funds worth 10.9 trillion yuan could be utilised to salvage its housing sector, offering an alternative to bank mortgages.
The World Bank slashed its global growth forecast for 2025 by four-tenths of a percentage point to 2.3%, saying higher tariffs and heightened uncertainty posed a "significant headwind" for nearly all economies.
