Chinese stocks are on the move Thursday following news that the country’s government will add more stimulus to its economy.
China intends to add an additional 1 trillion yuan to its economic spending. That’s roughly the same as $146 billion. This extra spending is part of an effort to rescue the economy from damage done by several Covid-19 lockdowns.
So what exactly does China plan to spend the money on? It looks like the main focus will be improving infrastructure. However, experts are already predicting that the extra $146 billion won’t be enough of a boost for the Chinese economy to recover, Bloomberg notes.
Even so, we’re seeing movement from several Chinese stocks on Thursday. Let’s take a look at how today’s news is affecting those shares below!
