China’s economic growth over 8% in 2013: IMF  

IMF稱2013年中國經濟增長率將為8.2%

國際貨幣基金組織(IMF)和世界銀行年會9日上午在東京開幕，IMF同日發布全球經濟預測數據，預計中國經濟增長率將從2012年的7.8%到2013年重回8.2%。

Tokyo (CNS) – China's economy will grow by 8.2 percent in 2013, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said in its latest forecast here on Tuesday.

The Chinese government has taken effective action in terms of cutting deposit interest rates and enlarging infrastructure construction to stimulate economic growth, the IMF's chief economist Olivier Blanchard said.

The IMF also forecast that the world economy will expand 3.3 percent this year, down from the estimate of 3.5 percent growth it issued in July. Its forecast for growth in 2013 is 3.6 percent, down from 3.9 percent three months ago.

Uncertainty and setbacks lowered the expectations for global economic growth, Blanchard said.

The IMF released the forecast on the opening day of the 6-day IMF-World Bank meeting in Tokyo, where central bankers, ministers of finance and private sector executives from 188 countries will discuss the issue of promoting the global economy.

A delegation of Chinese finance and monetary officials will be present at the meeting, China's central bank told Xinhua on Tuesday.
