Macroeconomics

1. [Vehicle and Vessel Tax] Preferential policies for vehicle and vessel taxes are set for their first major adjustment in 15 years. The Ministry of Finance, the State Taxation Administration, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly announced that, effective January 1, 2027, the policy of halving the tax for energy-saving vehicles will be abolished, as will the tax exemption policy for pure electric commercial vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles (including extended-range models), and fuel-cell commercial vehicles. This policy adjustment applies to both existing and newly acquired vehicles; owners of the aforementioned vehicle types will be required to pay the tax in accordance with regulations. Pure electric passenger vehicles and fuel-cell passenger vehicles fall outside the scope of taxation defined by the Vehicle and Vessel Tax Law and remain unaffected by this adjustment.

The index accelerated further within the expansion zone, reflecting a positive trend of balanced recovery across all regions.

3. [Eurozone PMI] The final Eurozone Composite PMI for June was revised upward to 50.0 from the initial reading of 49.5, ending two consecutive months of contraction; the final Services PMI was revised upward to 49.4.
