The increase of budget deficit ratio is a confirmed direction for China's macro policy in 2016.

ANBOUND’s scholars are of the view that if there is no improvement to the economic situations, both at home and abroad for this year and next year, then it will be increasingly difficult for China to maintain steady economic growth and the possibility of China continues to expand its budget deficit ratio cannot be ruled out.

The government will make the appropriate decisions in accordance with the situation, the development of the economic situation will decide the pace and rhythm in raising the budget deficit ratio and it is likely that the government will raise the budget deficit ratio gradually, in stages, up to the safe limit of 4.5%.
