Finance Minister Lan Foan announced plans to help local governments tackle debt, support low-income households, and boost the property market.
Investors have been urging such steps as China faces deflationary pressures and a sharp property market downturn.
However, no figure was provided for the stimulus package, leaving markets anxious about the strength and duration of the recovery effort.
Economists warn that this lack of clarity may prolong uncertainty until China’s legislature approves extra debt measures.
Concerns are rising that China may fall short of its 5% growth target, signalling deeper structural challenges ahead.
