China releases its highly-anticipated economic growth data for the fourth quarter on Monday – numbers that are expected to show 2013 marked the weakest performance for the world’s second biggest economy in 14 years.
Many economists forecast China’s annual gross domestic product (GDP) slowed to 7.6 percent in the final three months of last year, from 7.8 percent in the previous quarter.
That would put the full-year growth rate at 7.7 percent, above the government’s 7.5 percent official target but mark the weakest level since 1999.
