Q3 GDP data, and the September activity data (industrial production, retail sales etc.) is due on October 19 at 0200 GMT
Preview via Reuters:
- Zhang Yiping, an economist at Merchants Securities: "The economy is likely to slow steadily given that property investment and infrastructure investment could slow, although the impact from rising borrowing costs on the economy could be limited"
- Analysts have penciled in a gradual GDP slowdown due to an expected softening in property investment and construction as more cities try to cool surging housing prices, while a government campaign against riskier lending pushes up borrowing costs
