In 2020, final consumption of the economy in China amounted to about 54.3 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP). This is a very low value compared to other countries in the world. Accordingly, the total rate of investment of the economy was very high. Forecasts by the IMF expect a gradual decline of the investment ratio (capital formation ratio) in the coming years.
