GDP target is attainable, OECD chief says

The Chinese government's target of maintaining a "sustainable" average annual growth rate of no less than 6.5 percent is achievable in the next five years as the country implements structural reform, said Angel Gurria, chief of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.

"This growth rate, in my opinion, is much better than the two-digit number, which can easily cause bubbles," Gurria told China Daily on Thursday at the OECD's Paris headquarters before his organization's internal discussion on its China outlook.

Gurria chaired the discussion to solicit opinions from his team and advisers to hammer out talking points that he will deliver over the weekend at the China Development Forum in Beijing.
