China Aims to Stabilise the Economy

China has set its economic growth target for the year at 7.5%, as it looks to continue its efforts to stabilise the economy.  The country also set its inflation goal at 3.5%, aimed at keeping prices in check.

After years of blistering growth rates, China has seen its rate of expansion slide after a slowdown domestically and in key markets.  In 2013, the country grew at a pace of 7.7%, about the same as in 2012.

Recent manufacturing data has also indicated a slowdown in activity in the world’s second largest economy.
