China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has stated that the country achieved its main economic targets for 2015.
In 2015, China’s overall economic growth remained stable. In particular, China’s gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 6.9 percent in the first three quarters of 2015, while it will likely rise to 7.0 percent for the whole of 2015. In the January-November period of 2015, 12.51 million of people have been newly employed in China’s cities and towns, while the figure is expected to rise to 13 million for the whole of 2015. In addition, China’s consumer price index (CPI) rose by 1.4 percent year on year in 2015.
