InsightsFALL 2025Learn more2OverviewFollowing GDP growth of 5.0%in 2024,Chinas economy further expanded by 5.3%in the first half of 2025.The economy also recorded increases in fixed asset investment(2.8%),value-added industrial output(6.4%)and foreign trade(2.9%)for the first six months of 2025.1The year 2024 and the first eight months of 2025 saw a continued modest recovery in the pace of U.S.IPO activity for Chinese companies after the significant drop-off in listings in 2022.2 However,total funds raised remains well below levels seen several years ago,as market conditions and regulatory concerns have contributed to a challenging environment for offshore listings of Chinese companies in the U.S.Two going-private transactions of U.S.-listed Chinese companies were completed in 2024,and four going-private transactions of U.S.-listed Chinese companies were closed through August 2025.U.S.-listed Chinese companies with pending going-private proposals represented about USD 8.1 billion in total market capitalization as of August 31,2025.21 China National Bureau of Statistics and General Administration of Customs of China;2 SEC filings,company press releases and S&P
