BEIJING - China’s economy lost more steam in November as factory output growth slowed and retail sales extended declines, both missing forecasts and clocking their worst readings since May, hobbled by surging Covid-19 infections and widespread virus curbs.

Industrial output rose 2.2 per cent in November from a year earlier, missing expectations for a 3.6 per cent gain in a Reuters poll and slowing significantly from the 5.0% growth seen in October, the National Bureau of Statistics data showed on Thursday. It marked the slowest growth since May when Shanghai was under lockdown, partly due to disruptions in key manufacturing hubs Guangzhou and Zhengzhou.

Property investment fell 9.8 per cent year-on-year in January-November, after declining 8.8 per cent in January-October, dragging on the sector’s downturn. Fixed asset investment expanded 5.3 per cent in the first 11 months of the year, versus expectations for a 5.6 per cent rise and growth of 5.8 per cent in January-October.
