China Economic Outlook 2026: Policy Signals, Market Implications & Business Perspectives

Join BritCham Shanghai for our China Economic Outlook 2026 session, taking place in mid-March, shortly after the conclusion of China’s Two Sessions — a critical moment to assess policy direction, economic priorities, and business implications for the year ahead.

We are pleased to confirm Anke Schrader, China Director of the Economist Intelligence Corporate Network, as our keynote speaker, who will share insights on:

• Key outcomes from the Two Sessions
• Policy priorities under the emerging 15th Five-Year Plan
• China’s macroeconomic direction and global context for 2026

Following the keynote, a panel discussion will bring together senior business and advisory leaders to explore how policy signals translate into real-world market impacts, corporate strategy, and investment decision-making.

This in-person session will offer timely insights, practical perspectives, and an opportunity for open discussion among peers navigating China’s evolving economic landscape.

More speakers will be announced soon.
