EU'S DOMBROVSKIS: WILL UPDATE G7 ON THE RECENT 90 BILLION EURO LOAN PACKAGE FOR UKRAINE, OF WHICH THE FIRST DISBURSEMENT MAY TAKE PLACE IN JUNE

China’s economy slowed broadly in April, with fixed-asset investment unexpectedly contracting 1.6% in the first four months of 2026 after rising 1.7% in Q1, signaling a renewed downturn in capital spending. Retail sales rose just 0.2% in April, missing forecasts and marking the weakest performance since December 2022, while industrial production slowed to 4.1%, its weakest pace in almost three years and below expectations. The urban jobless rate eased to 5.2% from 5.4%, but youth unemployment climbed to a more than two-year high, highlighting continued labor market strain. Officials said “strong supply and weak demand” persists, with resilient exports—supported by AI-driven global demand and steady trade flows—helping offset weak domestic consumption, while policymakers maintain a cautious stance with limited new stimulus.
