For the third quarter, the bankers' macroeconomic heat expectation index is projected at 31.9 percent

China's central bank on Mar.30 unveiled measures to bankroll the push for rural revitalization and underpin macroeconomic stabilization efforts, calling on financial institutions to strengthen credit guarantees for food security, and ramp up funding for major farm products including soybeans and oilseeds.

Despite a slowdown compared with previous years, China's GDP growth target of around 5.5 percent points to the nation's proactive pursuit of economic progress on a high base and necessitates robust support from macroeconomic policies

There is a lot of potential in the structural drivers of China's growth, so the country is likely to see its GDP growth moderate in the first quarter, and accelerate in the second and third quarters when the previous macroeconomic policies take effect, a political adviser said on Mar.8.

The ongoing geopolitical risks are unlikely to send China's inflation soaring or derail the Chinese central bank's cycle of easing, experts said on Mar.2.

China has called for strengthening global cooperation in coordinating macro policies, as part of efforts to propel common development, according to the Ministry of Finance.
