Investment in public facilities to step up growth

China will work harder to promote infrastructure investment with a focus on areas that can efficiently boost productivity, address weak links and promote high-quality growth, according to the nation's top economic regulator.

Meng Wei, a spokeswoman for the National Development and Reform Commission, said on Tuesday that the country will channel resources to stabilize infrastructure investment growth and boost efficiency while containing government debt.

China will roll out new measures to attract capital into agriculture, poverty alleviation, environmental protection and other areas, as part of the country's broader push to improve investment efficiency, Meng said at a news conference in Beijing.
