Chinese President Xi Jinping made a rare statement Wednesday about his country’s aims to achieve its economic goals for the year. Investment analysts have cut their forecasts for China’s GDP growth to well below the official target after stringent Covid controls restricted business activity in the last few months. The median GDP forecast among investment banks tracked by CNBC is far lower, at 3.4%. Bank of America became the latest to cut earlier this week, while Nomura has the lowest forecast of 3.3%. Goldman Sachs is the only major investment bank with a forecast of 4% or slightly higher.

India’s current account deficit narrowed in the three months from January to March, mainly on the back of a moderation in the trade gap and a lower net outflow of primary income, the Reserve Bank of India said on Wednesday. The current account deficit stood at $13.4 billion or 1.5% of GDP in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021/22, compared with $22.2 billion or 2.6% of GDP in the preceding October-December quarter. The deficit had stood at $8.1 billion in the same quarter a year ago, the release showed. Net foreign direct investment inflows stood at $38.6 billion in FY22, lower than $44 billion in FY21.

EUROPE/EMEA:

Britain’s economy is showing signs of stalling as high inflation hits new orders and businesses report levels of concern that normally herald a recession, a closely watched industry survey showed on Thursday. S&P Global’s Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), covering services and manufacturing firms, also showed companies raising pay and passing higher costs on to clients, a worry for the Bank of England. The PMI’s preliminary composite index held at 53.1 in June, above the median forecast of 52.6 in a Reuters poll of economists and unchanged from May.

European Central Bank president Christine Lagarde argued for regulation of crypto activities including staking and lending, in remarks before the European Parliament this week. Speaking as chair of the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB), Lagarde stated that crypto-assets are “narrowly-defined” under proposed regulation and that future legislation “should regulate the activities of crypto-asset staking and lending, which are definitely increasing.” Her statements follow a tumultuous period for crypto markets in which crypto lending platform Celsius announced that it would pause withdrawals for its users, prompting a series of investigations from U.S. state securities regulators. Days later, another crypto lending platform, Babel Finance, also paused withdrawals, citing “liquidity pressures.”

Inflation in Canada soared 7.7% in May — the fastest pace since 1983. The figure surpassed April’s reading of 6.8% and predictions of a 7.4% uptick. After raising rates by 50 basis points, the Bank of Canada is now ready to act more aggressively to tame prices. Some believe they may follow in the footsteps of the Federal Reserve by implementing a 75 basis point hike at their next meeting on July 13.
