Standard Chartered PLC Chief Executive Bill Winters said on Tuesday fears over a growth slowdown in China’s economy and the impact of the U.S.-China trade tensions are “receding a bit”.

China’s top officials pledged to lower tariffs and expedite debt sales in 2019 as they seek to manage an economic slowdown while tackling the trade standoff with the U.S.

The openness of China’s financial markets to the rest of the world isn’t high, so there’s a lot of room for increased access, according to People’s Bank of China Governor Yi Gang.

Premier Li Keqiang’s Government Work Report provides a concrete sign of China’s renewed support for the private economy, especially small and micro businesses.

A key economic index fell to a 17-year low, a likely trigger of more government support measures.

China’s exports tumbled the most in three years in February while imports fell for a third straight month.

Although the global economy is witnessing an evident slowdown this year, 2019 is a promising year for deepening the financial supply-side structural reform. This requires China to be neither aggressive nor conservative, and instead be cautious and avoid making blunders.

China's economy is to expand by 6 to 6.5 percent this year.

While the Chinese economy is facing a slowdown, its impact cannot be predicted. Some argue the economic downturn is bound to carry effects across the globe, while others think it a mistake to fixate on GDP growth rates alone.
