European Business Confidence in China Shows Signs of Recovery

European business confidence in China may be nearing an inflection point after years of decline, according to a European Chamber survey released Wednesday.The survey found that 68% of respondents said doing business in China got harder over the past year, down five percentage points. Those reporting more politicization fell five percentage points to 47%. Optimism on two-year profitability rose five percentage points to 17%.Still, serious challenges remain, including China's economic slowdown and persistent supply-demand imbalances. About 32% of respondents reported being impacted by export controls and 39% see the enforcement of intellectual property rights laws and regulations as inadequate.European Chamber President Jens Eskelund said despite the "signs of an uptick" in business confidence, margin pressure stemming from persistent low domestic demand relative to supply growth "remains a core issue."

China to Lead Drop in Light Vehicle Demand for 2026, S&P Says

S&P Global Ratings sees light vehicle demand declining this year, with China and the US observing the largest drops, according to a recent release.Waning consumer interest and reduced policy incentives will drive the decline in demand, S&P said.Chinese light vehicle sales dropped 20% year on year in the first four months of 2026, although S&P expects a modest recovery in the second half due to better seasonality and availability of new models, the rating agency said.Meanwhile, domestic wholesale volume for Chinese mass-market producers like BYD (HKG:1211, SHE:002594) and Chery Automobile dropped between 40% and 50%, the rating agency said.S&P expects rated manufacturers to leverage scale advantages to sustain stable sales volumes.However, rising cost inflation amid higher commodity prices due to the Middle East war could squeeze profit margins across the sector, S&P said.Chinese carmakers have quickened the pace of overseas expansion to offset intense domestic competition, leading to a 50% jump in passenger vehicle exports during the first quarter, the rating agency said.Chinese producers will also continue to increase prices or scale back incentives on some models amid these pressures, according to the rating agency.

Sizable Fiscal Support for SOEs Exposes Some Asia-Pacific Sovereigns, Fitch Says

Certain Asia-Pacific sovereigns could face constraints as they increase government fiscal support especially for state-owned entities, Fitch Ratings said in a recent release.Governments with higher government debt-to-GDP ratios compared to peer medians are especially vulnerable, Fitch said.Sovereigns carry out this support through capital additions or subsidies to state-owned enterprises (SOEs), the rating agency said.Many sovereigns in the region play a major role in fostering economic growth, but the levels of support, as seen in the share of combined SEO debt relative to GDP, also vary, the rating agency said.Meanwhile, some advanced economies have high SOE debt partly due to increased transparency in data reporting, according to Fitch.
