BEIJING, January 19 (Xinhua) — China's GDP is expected to grow 5 percent year-on-year in 2025, meeting its annual target of around 5 percent, according to official data released Monday.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), China's GDP reached a record high of 140.1879 trillion yuan (approximately $20.01 trillion) last year.

The country's GDP registered in the fourth quarter of 2025 grew by 4.5 percent year-on-year, or by 1.2 percent compared to the previous quarter.

Despite challenging changes in the domestic and external economic environment, the national economy moved forward, withstanding the pressure. New results in high-quality development were achieved, the administration noted.

In 2025, the country's key socioeconomic development goals and objectives were fully achieved. This, the department reported, signifies the successful completion of the objectives set for the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025).

Facing a complex and serious situation involving rapid changes in the external environment and growing domestic difficulties and challenges, China has adopted a more proactive and effective macroeconomic policy, which has helped offset adverse external shocks and stabilize the foundation for development, said Kang Yi, head of the National Bureau of Statistical Studies, at a press conference.

“For a super-large economy like China, achieving such stable development is by no means easy in the face of interconnected risks and challenges,” he concluded. -0-
