The list of the "Ten Most Influential Economists of 2025" has been announced. In 2025, China's economy showed steady recovery and qualitative improvement despite multiple internal and external challenges. Macroeconomic policies were precisely coordinated and enhanced in efficiency, steadily advancing the goals of stabilizing growth, adjusting structure, and preventing risks. As China's high-quality development deepened, influential economists demonstrated their ability to grasp major trends and align with the direction of the times, drawing on profound academic expertise and years of practical market experience.

The selection was jointly conducted by Sina Finance, the Chief Economists Forum, and the New Economist Think Tank, in collaboration with Weibo Finance. The final award results were determined by a judging panel based on five key dimensions: professionalism, influence, innovation, foresight, and activity. The selection process involved panel voting and considered factors such as research output and impact.
