(Bloomberg) -- Economists are turning more bearish about Chinas economy, downgrading their growth forecasts further for 2022 and seeing lingering risks into next year as turmoil in the property market and Covid outbreaks persist.

The economy is now projected to grow just 3.5% this year, down from a previous forecast of 3.9%, according to Bloombergs latest quarterly survey of economists. Growth projections for the first three quarters of next year were also lowered -- by 0.1-0.4 percentage points -- although the median for the whole of 2023 remained unchanged at 5.2%.

His base case is that the economy will grow a little over 3% this year, but sees a risk of growth weakening to below that if economic activity continues to slow.
