China’s old growth model is no longer sustainable as it has experienced rising debt-to-GDP ratios, falling capital productivity and persistent producer price deflation, Xinhua quoted Moody’s as saying in a report on Wednesday.
“If this ratio is to return to more sustainable levels, China will need to discover new sources of economic growth that rely less on investment funded by borrowing,” said Michael Taylor, Moody’s managing director and chief credit officer for the Asia-Pacific.

He cited the service sector and e-commerce, which require less capital, as new growth engines to help support economic re-balancing.
In addition, more policy support, such as more monetary policy loosening and fiscal stimulus, is needed for successful re-balancing, Moody’s said.
