The Chinese government will hold a press conference to announce details of the policies to stimulate economic activity in the nation.

Li Chunlin, vice chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission, and officials from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Commerce and the State Administration for Market Regulation will hold a press conference at 3 p.m. Monday in Beijing, according to a statement from the State Council Information Office, Bloomberg said.

Earlier the National Development and Reform Commission recommended that China would need to rapidly work toward a more efficient economy and boost consumption – in order to maintain strong economic growth.

The early policy announcements are likely positive news for the growth of electric vehicles on China’s roads, electrification of households, green energy power sources, and infrastructure spending in rural and regional China, according to the NDRC.

Policy advisors had outlined a number of major focus areas which should be bullish for stocks around the world, including green energy providers (renewables, nuclear), electrification infrastructure (copper, aluminium), electronics (rare earth elements, tin), critical and battery minerals (lithium, nickel, graphite) and electric vehicle sales (global EV makers).

Key announcements were made Friday in Beijing.
