China recently announced its 2025 primary income balance at a negative USD 109.538 billion, representing a significant narrowing of the deficit scale compared to the negative USD 130.029 billion in 2024. This data reflects a slowdown in foreign direct investment (FDI) and declining profits of foreign enterprises in China, which has shrunk the pool of repatriable profits.
