China will likely meet its annual growth target of around 5.5 percent this year with the help of the government's effective measures to control COVID-19 and stabilize market expectations, economists and experts said. Compared with other major economies, China reported higher GDP growth with lower inflation in the first quarter, demonstrating resilience despite downward pressures, said Wang Yiming, vice-chairman of the China Center for International Economic Exchanges. Wang's views were echoed by Liu Qiao, dean of the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University. Considering the strong resilience of the economy and China's ample tools, Liu believes China has the confidence to meet its annual growth target in 2022.
經(jīng)濟學家和專家表示,在政府采取有效措施控制疫情和穩(wěn)定市場預期的前提下,中國今年可能實現(xiàn)5.5%左右的年度增長目標。中國國際經(jīng)濟交流中心副理事長王一鳴表示,與全球主要經(jīng)濟體相比,中國第一季度GDP增長更高,通脹更低,盡管面臨下行壓力,但顯示出強勁的經(jīng)濟韌性。王一鳴表示,由于小微企業(yè)等許多市場主體面臨著困難,壓力越來越大,應作出更多努力,積極回應這些主體的關切,穩(wěn)定市場預期,進行更有力的宏觀經(jīng)濟政策調(diào)整,以穩(wěn)定經(jīng)濟。北京大學光華管理學院院長劉俏也認同該觀點。考慮到中國經(jīng)濟的強勁韌性和充足的政策工具,他認為中國有信心在2022年實現(xiàn)5.5%左右的年度增長目標。
