China’s ratio of total social logistics costs to gross domestic product (GDP) fell to 13.9 percent in 2025, dropping below the 14 percent threshold for the first time, the country’s top economic planner said Saturday.
The reading was 0.8 percentage point lower than the level at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan period from 2016 to 2020, according to the National Development and Reform Commission.
China is targeting a further reduction in the ratio of social logistics costs to GDP to around 13.5 percent by 2027 as part of efforts to improve overall economic efficiency. (Xinhua)
