In response to questions about China's economy at a regular press conference on the 1st, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning said that this year, China's economic vitality and potential will be fully unleashed and will continue to inject confidence and strength into the world economy. A reporter asked: Recently, the United Nations released the report "World Economic Situation and Prospects for 2023", which predicted that China's economic growth would reach 4.8% against the background that the world economic growth would fall to 1.9% in 2023. A few days ago, the World Economic Outlook Report released by the International Monetary Fund also significantly raised China's economic growth forecast to 5.2% this year. What is the speaker's comment on this? "I have taken note of the relevant reports and the recent increase of China's economic growth forecast in 2023 by Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase and other international investment institutions," said Mao Ning. She said that during the 2023 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, participants generally believed that China's optimization and adjustment of epidemic prevention and control policies would significantly reduce the possibility of global economic recession, and China's openness would contribute to global economic growth. The Director-General of the World Trade Organization said that China is the engine of world economic growth. "We are full of confidence in the prospects of China's economic development. This year, China's economic vitality and potential will be fully unleashed and continue to inject confidence and strength into the world economy," said Mao Ning. (Xinhua News Agency)
