Growth rebound likely via policies, experts say

China's economy grew 6.6 percent year-on-year last year, down from 6.8 percent in 2017, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Monday.

Despite the easing of growth, economists said that as China's supportive policies take effect, growth is expected to stabilize and recover as early as the first quarter of the year.

The country's GDP for its first time exceeded 90 trillion yuan ($13.28 trillion) last year.
