Advisor to the PBOC says China’s growth this year 8 – 9%

Liu Shijin, a policy adviser to the People’s Bank of China, says GDP could grow 8-9% in 2021

  • This would be a result of 2020’s low base
  • Would not mean China has returned to a “high-growth” period
  • Says that averaging growth out over the two years, if it should hit around 5% is a good outcome
