China GDP Growth Rate (QoQ)

China's Quarter-over-Quarter GDP growth reached 1.1% in Q3 2025, an increase from 1% in Q2 2025. This stronger performance was supported by Beijing's policy measures including liquidity injections which helped stabilize credit markets and counter deflationary pressures amid otherwise weak demand. While exports and manufacturing continued to drive growth, consumer spending and private investment cooled further. Persistent deflation and a protracted property market downturn also acted as headwinds. China's record low Quarter-over-Quarter gdp growth rate was -10.5% in Q1 2020 and record high was 12.8% in Q2 2020.

China GDP Growth Rate (QoQ) : Definition
China's Quarter-over-Quarter GDP growth rate measures the percentage change in the nation's total economic output from one quarter to the next. It is calculated by comparing the current quarter's Gross Domestic Product, expressed in Chinese Yuan, against the previous quarter's GDP. This metric reflects changes driven by consumption, investment, government spending and net exports.
