An Alma Economics team coordinated the creation of the World Bank’s “China’s Next Transformation” report, a systematic country diagnostic (SCD) covering recent and future trends. An SCD is a type of report produced by the World Bank for partner countries, determining how they can reduce poverty and boost shared prosperity, as well as the challenges that stand in the way of those goals.

To provide insight and recommendations on issues pertinent to socioeconomic changes in China, the World Bank engaged experts to offer analysis on economic growth, poverty, inequality, the environment, and trade. Each section also described the existing policy context and the World Bank’s recommendations for reform priorities.

The report served as a reference point for client consultations on priorities for World Bank Group country engagement.
