Abstract: I propose the 5-year forecast of ex ante real interest rate in the time varying parameter vector autoregression model with stochastic volatility as a measure of the natural rate of interest of China. The natural rate of China varied around 1.6% before 2010 when the 4 trillion RMB stimulus ended, and then exhibited an obvious descending trend from around 1.8% to recent 0.4%. This is similar to the descending trend found in the studies of advanced economies.
