In Q2 2026 (cumulative for the first half of the year), China's national per capita disposable income reached 22,981 yuan, a nominal increase of 5.2% year-on-year. Rural income growth outpaced urban growth, with wage and net business income acting as the main pillars. However, constrained by the slowdown in Q2 GDP growth and sluggish growth in net property income, the momentum for domestic consumption recovery still faces tests.
