China: Gross Disposable Income

Macro

2026-06-17

Description

China's Gross Disposable Income (GDI) is compiled and published by the National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBS of China). It is an important indicator for assessing the overall economic well-being of the population and their consumption potential. A higher GDI indicates better economic conditions and increased consumption capacity, while a lower GDI suggests the opposite.

Disposable income refers to the total amount available to residents for final consumption expenditures and savings, which includes both cash income and in-kind income. Based on the source of income, disposable income includes wage income, net business income, net property income, and net transfer income.

This data is typically updated annually, with results published in the NBS of China's annual reports.

AI Data Insight

The latest data shows that China's gross disposable income reached 1,339,865.4 hundred million RMB in the fourth quarter of 2025, steadily increasing from the previously released 1,285,587.69 hundred million RMB in the fourth quarter of 2023. This reflects a gradual recovery of residents' purchasing power under official policy support for stabilizing employment and expanding domestic demand. As the urban-rural gap narrows and service consumption warms up, this wave of growth is expected to provide strong underlying support for China's economic transformation.
