Major economic forecast just dropped—looks like the global financial landscape is shifting again. The IMF bumped up their China growth projection for this year, now sitting at a solid 5% year-over-year. That's a 0.2 percentage point jump from what they called back in October.

Sonali Jain-Chandra, the mission chief handling the China desk, led the assessment team through this revision. Worth noting for anyone tracking macro trends—this kind of adjustment usually signals changing confidence in economic resilience, especially when we're talking about the world's second-largest economy. Could ripple through risk assets and emerging market sentiment.
