IPC Index — Mexico MarketBeijing unveiled early investment plans for 2026, signaling a renewed push to bolster China’s economic growth through infrastructure spending. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) announced on Wednesday two major construction projects backed by about CNY 295 billion in central budget funding, alongside approvals for several large-scale initiatives, including Guangzhou’s new airport, water resource facilities, and scientific research platforms, with total planned investment exceeding CNY 400 billion. The early rollout underscores the government’s intent to front-load investment to sustain momentum amid persistent economic headwinds. Already in 2025, China allocated CNY 800 billion to its “Two Major” programmes, prioritizing national projects and security-related capacity building. Together, these measures highlight Beijing’s strategy to stabilize growth while reinforcing infrastructure, energy, and resource security.
