World Bank CEO praises nation's reforms

BEIJING - China's structural reform has been "really going well" amid rising uncertainties worldwide, said World Bank CEO Kristalina Georgieva, a Bulgarian economist. She stressed that the world needs to think as a community of common destiny.

"In 2016, the world got 2.3 percent growth, very disappointing. More than a third, 35 percent, came from China. That is particularly remarkable because China is rebalancing its economy," Georgieva told Xinhua in an exclusive interview on the sidelines of the 2017 China Development Forum, which concluded Monday.

She added that China's economic transformation and rebalancing have been going well and are moving forward smoothly, though not without some difficulties.
