CEIC data is provided by CEIC Data Information Co., Ltd. (CEIC), which is a comprehensive macroeconomic and industry economic database. The database covers economic data from more than 213 countries and regions around the world, and provides in-depth analysis of economic information from the BRICS countries (Brazil, China, India, Indonesia and Russia). CEIC data is widely used in economic research, market analysis, and investment decision-making to help users make accurate and timely decisions. The content of the database not only includes macroeconomic indicators such as GDP, GNP, FDI, CPI, etc., but also covers detailed data of multiple industries such as automobiles, energy, real estate, tourism, retail, and manufacturing. In addition, the CEIC database provides in-depth time-series data on the city's labor market, social security, fiscal, bond and commodity futures markets, as well as comprehensive monitoring indicators such as PMI, leading index, business and entrepreneur surveys, banking surveys and consumer surveys.
According to CEIC data, on May 1, 2024, China's household debt reached US$1,118,551.3 million. Based on the current mid-market exchange rate of 7.267 between the US dollar and the RMB, this amount is equivalent to RMB 81,285,110,617,100, or RMB 81.285 trillion.
China's household debt of 81 trillion yuan is an important economic indicator that reflects the financial situation and consumption behavior of Chinese households. The level of debt can have a multifaceted impact on the economy:
1. Spending power: Higher household debt may limit households' spending power due to the need to pay interest and principal on debt, which may reduce household spending on other goods and services.
2. Economic growth: An increase in household debt can boost economic growth as loans for the purchase of properties, cars, etc., can stimulate demand. However, if the level of debt is too high, it may increase financial risks and affect economic stability.
3. Financial stability: Rising household debt levels are likely to increase the vulnerability of the financial system. If a large number of households are unable to repay their debts, it could trigger turmoil in financial markets.
4. Wealth distribution: Household debt may be unevenly distributed, with some households likely to be heavily indebted while others may have little to no debt. This could exacerbate inequality in society's wealth.
5. Personal Life Impact: For individuals and families, high levels of debt can increase life stress, affecting quality of life and mental health.
It is worth noting that the specific situation of household debt needs to be comprehensively assessed in conjunction with other economic indicators and the policy environment. For example, factors such as the structure of household debt, the level of interest rates, the rate of economic growth, and the state of the job market can all affect the actual impact of debt.
