The list of the "Top Ten Macroeconomists of 2025" has been announced. In 2025, the Chinese economy has advanced under pressure, moving toward new and higher-quality development. Fiscal policy has become more proactive, monetary policy appropriately accommodative, and macroeconomic policies have been coordinated and targeted to enhance efficiency, contributing to stable economic performance with progress and new achievements in high-quality development. At this critical stage marked by intertwined changes and transformation challenges, macroeconomists have closely followed the pulse of the times, offering insights into development trends with a broad perspective, professional judgment, and solid arguments. They have focused on new quality productive forces, domestic demand expansion, risk mitigation, and long-term growth, providing recommendations to clarify development logic amid changes and guide macroeconomic direction.
The selection was jointly conducted by Sina Finance, the Chief Economists Forum, and the New Economists Think Tank. The final results were determined by a judging panel based on five key dimensions: professionalism, influence, innovation, foresight, and activity, incorporating votes and considering factors such as the forward-looking nature of their work and productivity.
