Core Viewpoint - Goldman Sachs predicts China's GDP growth rate will be 4.8% in 2026, supported by strong export growth. The MSCI China Index target is set at 100 points, and the CSI 300 Index target is 5200 points by the end of 2026. Net inflows from southbound funds are expected to reach $200 billion (approximately 1.4 trillion yuan), a new record high [1][9]. Export Support Factors - China's export growth is projected to maintain a rate of 5%-6%, significantly higher than the global trade growth of 2%-3%. This forecast is based on three core factors: steady global economic recovery boosting demand, China's cost advantages across various industries, and unique capabilities in rare earths and supply chains, making it difficult for international tariffs to be imposed [2][11]. - The negative impact of the real estate sector on economic growth is expected to diminish over time, with the most significant effects occurring in 2024 and 2025. As the market size shrinks, the downward pressure on GDP growth will lessen [2][11]. Currency Outlook - The RMB is expected to appreciate moderately, with an estimated undervaluation of about 25%. By the end of 2026, the RMB/USD exchange rate is projected to reach 6.85, further strengthening to 6.54 by the end of 2027, indicating an annual appreciation of approximately 2%-3% [3][11].

The expected stock market return for 2026 is between 15%-20%, primarily driven by earnings growth, with a projected earnings growth rate of 14% [4][12]. - Three main factors are anticipated to drive earnings growth: contributions from the AI industry, expansion into overseas markets, and positive impacts from the "anti-involution" trend [4][12][13]. Liquidity Support - Net inflows from southbound funds are expected to reach $200 billion (approximately 1.4 trillion yuan), reflecting increased demand for stock allocations from domestic individuals and institutions [6][14]. - There is still room for improvement in overseas fund allocations to Chinese stocks, which currently account for less than 8% of total risk exposure among hedge fund clients tracked by Goldman Sachs. Recent communications indicate a growing interest from overseas investors in Chinese investments [6][14]. - Personal investors are projected to contribute approximately 2 trillion yuan to the stock market over the next 12 months, driven by expectations of stock returns between 10%-15% and improved inflation expectations [6][14]. Sector Preferences - Goldman Sachs maintains a high allocation recommendation for AI and technology hardware, reflecting strong confidence in the AI narrative. The materials sector is also favored, while insurance is newly recommended for overweight allocation due to its potential for higher investment returns in a slow bull market and attractive dividend characteristics [8][15]. Policy Focus - The concept of "investing in people" is highlighted as a key policy direction, expected to manifest in various initiatives, including annual childcare subsidies of 3600 yuan. This focus is anticipated to continue and expand, covering the entire life cycle from birth to retirement, with policy support likely to strengthen to improve living standards and increase birth rates [8][16].
