Fixed-asset investment stabilizes, may hit 10%: domestic think tank

Fluctuations in China's investment market will continue this year as the pressure of the economic downturn continues, a domestic think tank has reported in its annual review.

China's Investment 2016, issued by JIC Institute of Investment Research, notes that insufficient investment demand is the leading factor in China's economic downturn, but the tide is likely to turn during the year.

After several years of decline, investment is expected to stabilize then pick up later this year. The think tank calculates the growth rate of fixed asset investment at 10 percent this year.
