In Q3 2026, the cumulative year-on-year growth rate of China's national per capita real disposable income reached 4.4%, a mild recovery from 4.2% in Q2. However, the real growth of per capita consumption expenditure in the first three quarters was only 2.7%, significantly lagging behind income growth. This reflects that amid property weakness and economic structural adjustments, the public's precautionary savings mentality remains strong.
