Wen sees worst year for growth

The government should find the right balance between curbing inflation and maintaining a stable economic growth, Premier Wen Jiabao said on Saturday.

"We must be aware that this year would be the worst in recent times for our economic development," Wen said in an article published in the Qiushi journal.

Curbing inflation is still a challenge, even though it fell from a 12-year high of 8.7 percent in February to 4.6 percent in September, he wrote.
