Good conditions to finish tasks

With the Chinese economy expanding steadily in the first two quarters, the International Monetary Fund has raised its forecast for the country's GDP growth for the year to 6.8 percent, up from its prediction of 6.7 percent in April.

The adjustment, which came on Tuesday, coincided with the sanguine view of Ning Jizhe, head of the National Bureau of Statistics, that the country will certainly meet its growth target for the year, which is "around 6.5 percent".

The consensus among mainstream domestic and international analysts will instill confidence that the world's second-largest economy can continue to help anchor the global economic recovery.
