IMF Trims China 2025 Growth Forecast to 4.5% From 4.6%

The headline number is less telling than the framing: a tenth-of-a-point trim that still sits inside Beijing's target range suggests the IMF is marking down momentum without questioning the underlying trajectory. For crypto and RWA markets, China growth expectations feed indirectly through risk appetite and commodity-linked token narratives rather than through any direct channel. The open question is whether this is a one-off technical adjustment or the start of a run of downward revisions as the World Economic Outlook cycle continues.
