Sessions to address economic issues
While they are busy tackling post-economic crisis challenges, such as rising inflation and asset bubbles, policymakers and their advisors are also expected to focus on the country's longer-term economic restructuring and sustainable growth, analysts said.
The upcoming National People's Congress (NPC) and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) sessions in early March will materialize further the country's platforms on such key issues as income distribution, energy and resource pricing reform, industrial restructuring and the stimulation of domestic demand.
"I expect those issues to be high on the agenda of the NPC and CPPCC sessions, because they are crucial for China's future development," said Zhuang Jian, senior economist of the Asian Development Bank in Beijing.
