Budget deficit set to rise

CHINA’S proactive fiscal policy will continue in 2016 and its general public budget deficit will expand, China International Capital Corp has said in a note.

CICC analysts expect the deficit this year at 2.2 trillion yuan (US$336 billion), or 3 percent of the country’s gross domestic product.

CICC’s forecast came after a national fiscal work conference statement said last month that China would increase its budget deficit in 2016 and gradually raise its fiscal deficit ratio.

In an effort to shore up growth, China raised its deficit-to-GDP ratio to 2.3 percent for 2015 from 2.1 percent in 2014.
