China's top economic officials have expressed confidence in achieving the annual target of around 5% economic growth, citing a strong start to the year. Key indicators such as a 10% increase in exports and a more than 30% rise in medium- and long-term bank loans in the first two months have bolstered this optimism.
The focus for the year will be on supporting scientific and technological innovation, urban-rural development, food security, and energy security. Officials highlighted the immense construction demand in these areas and the need for increased financial support to meet these needs.
