Chances are high that China will meet or exceed its relatively modest economic growth target for this year, said Sheng Songcheng, a former head of the statistics and analysis department at the People’s Bank of China.
The GDP growth goal of around 5% “is a relatively prudent, pragmatic target,” he said.
Based on calculations from provincial GDP targets announced, growth would come in at about 5.6% this year, he said.
