- China's largest banks are raising around $900 billion in special debt to comply with global rules for absorbing significant losses.
- The five major Chinese banks are expected to raise 6.2 trillion yuan ($859 billion) by January 2028, primarily through a new class of debt that can be converted after existing buffers are exhausted.
- While the likelihood of Beijing allowing them to get into serious trouble is extremely low, the new debt will increase the banks' funding costs.
- China's central bank may reduce benchmark lending rates further, impacting the banks' earnings, as they are also pushed to support the struggling property market and other sectors.

- The International Monetary Fund slightly raised its global growth forecast on Tuesday, noting that the economy had proven 'surprisingly resilient' despite inflationary pressures and monetary policy shifts.
- IMF's chief economist, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, indicated that the global economy is heading for a 'soft landing,' with risks to the outlook now broadly balanced.
- While advanced economies are expected to lead the growth, dim prospects in China and other major emerging markets could impact global trade partners, according to the report.
- Despite Tuesday's brighter outlook, global growth remains low compared to historical standards, partly due to weak productivity growth and increasing geopolitical fragmentation.
