China | Recovery pace is moderating in Q2

Economic activity indicators moderated in April as the authorities fine-tuned the pace of policy stimulus on concerns of rising risks associated with credit binge.

On the policy front, we anticipate the authorities to beef up easing efforts again in the second half of 2016.
