IMF pegs China growth at 6.6%

Multilateral agency says economic momentum to moderate gradually

China's year-on-year GDP growth is projected to reach 6.6 percent this year, 0.1 percentage point higher than its previous forecast, the International Monetary Fund said in its latest report released on Monday.

Analysts said export growth will continue to be a main contributor to China's growth as investment growth is expected to weaken this year.
