China - lowers growth goal, targets lower inflation

Published on Mar 5, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.net/ China has cut its economic growth target for this year to the lowest level in eight years -- 7.5 percent -- and Beijing said its top priority will be getting Chinese people to buy more.

The intention is to reduce the country's dependence on exports and foreign investment.

China's chief economic planner, Zhang Ping, said the long-term upward fundamentals for Chinese economic growth have not changed.

But the Director General of China's National Development and Reform Commission added that they have set the growth target at 7.5 percent, down from last year's 9.2 percent growth rate, because they want to "slow down economic growth a little bit" and better implement and speed up reforms.

The 7.5 percent target is down from the longstanding eight percent goal which China's economic growth has repeatedly exceeded.

It slowed only during the 2008-2009 global financial crisis and last year from the euro area debt crisis and a sluggish US economy. GDP was 10.4 percent in 2010.

Beijing also promised to address inflation, which remained stubbornly above the official four percent target every month last year. The annual rate for 2011 was 5.4 percent.

The chief planner said he was confident on prices, but he warned about influences such as rising labour and land costs.

Russian - Putin win boosts Russian stock markets

Published on Mar 5, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.net/ Shares prices rose on the Moscow stock exchanges on Monday as investors reacted to Vladimir Putin winning the presidential election in the first round which removes uncertainty.

However the gains were not big and analysts said investors were closely watching to see how anti-Putin protests develop and how he responds to them.

Among the shares that gained were energy giants Gazprom and Rosneft.

Stock markets remain near a seven-month high but there is much wariness ahead of the street protests that are symbolic of the emergence of a new wave of opposition in Russia.

The demonstrations are due to anger over widely-reported election fraud in last December's parliamentary vote and Putin's dominance of politics.

The rouble was virtually unchanged against the euro and the dollar on Monday.

Russia's currency continues to be supported by high oil prices, well above the average price that was factored into Russia's 2012 budget calculations.
