The cumulative contribution rate of China's gross capital formation to GDP growth in Q3 2026 dropped to 28.1%, a significant pullback from 36.1% in the previous quarter, indicating weakening domestic investment momentum. Although exports and high-tech manufacturing supported a better-than-expected economic growth of 4.5%, property market weakness and insufficient domestic demand continue to drag down overall capital formation performance. Going forward, close attention must be paid to whether official fiscal policies can effectively halt the decline and stabilize investment.
