China's economy expands 2.3 pc in 2020

China's economy expands 2.3 pc in 2020

Beijing, Jan 18 (UNI) China's gross domestic product (GDP) grew 2.3 per cent year-on-year, backed by a relatively rapid recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic that also fuelled exports, official data showed on Monday.
The GDP exceeded the 100-trillion-yuan (15.42 trillion US dollars) threshold for the first time, and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said that the country is expected to be the only major economy to post growth in the pandemic-ravaged year.
The advance also came as the world's second-largest economy won a decisive victory in poverty eradication last year while making historic achievements in the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects.
