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

IMF称2013年中国经济增长率将为8.2%

国际货币基金组织(IMF)和世界银行年会9日上午在东京开幕，IMF同日发布全球经济预测数据，预计中国经济增长率将从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.
