Key Economic Data and Investment Events to Watch Next Week

Next week will see the release of key economic indicators including April's CPI and PPI data, alongside significant industry forums and market events.

**Major Events** **April CPI and PPI Data Release Imminent** The National Bureau of Statistics is scheduled to release the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) data for April on May 11. China International Capital Corporation (CICC) forecasts that the year-on-year CPI growth for April may remain stable at around 1%. For PPI, CICC anticipates a further increase in the year-on-year growth rate to approximately 1.8%. In April, the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) sub-indices for the purchase prices of major raw materials and ex-factory prices were 63.7% and 55.1%, respectively, down by 0.2 and 0.3 percentage points month-on-month, implying a month-on-month PPI increase of around 0.9%.

**April Financial Data Expected Next Week** CICC also projects that the year-on-year growth rates of aggregate social financing and M2 money supply for April will be largely in line with March's figures. The year-on-year growth rate of M1 may experience a slight rebound due to a low base effect.
