China is expected to grow by about 9.5 percent in 2010, state media quoted a government think tank as saying Friday, exceeding forecasts made by outside experts for the new year.
The world’s third-largest economy will be boosted by double-digit growth in real estate investment and mild inflation, the State Council’s Development Research Centre said in a report published in the China Economic Times.
“In 2010, the external environment will remain rather grim but it will not deteriorate further,” Zhang Liqun, a macroeconomist at the centre, said in the report.
