Why it matters

China’s annual legislative sessions set the growth target, fiscal and industrial-policy direction, and defence budget for the year — the single best read on Beijing’s economic course, which drives EU trade exposure, overcapacity pressure and export-control risk.

What to watch

• Exact dates confirmed in late February (NPC typically opens 5 March).
• GDP growth target, fiscal deficit and stimulus signals.
• Industrial-policy and self-sufficiency language bearing on EU overcapacity/trade-defence.
