Investment growth to see momentum

The growth of China's outbound direct investment and foreign direct investment remained stable and optimistic during the first quarter of 2018, the Ministry of Commerce said on Monday.

"The country's ODI has seen an uptick for four months in a row, and from January to February the number has increased by 25.2 percent year-on-year," said an official from the ministry's Department of Outward Investment and Economic Cooperation.

The ministry predicted ODI will keep growing in the first quarter, further pushing industry structure upgrading. China will release the ODI figure for first quarter in the middle of this month.
