China will strengthen its counter-cyclical fiscal policy efforts by leveraging government spending to stimulate social investment, boost consumption, and increase effective demand, said Liao Min, vice minister of Finance, during a World Bank meeting on Friday, according to a statement from China's Ministry of Finance on Sunday.
Liao highlighted that the recent rollout of a comprehensive package of incremental policies by the Chinese government has garnered widespread attention from the international community.
He noted that China will also implement a series of strong measures to address local government debt, stabilize the real estate market, increase the income level of key groups, and ensure the future well-being of citizens.
Liao expressed confidence that China will achieve its annual economic growth target of around 5 percent this year, continuing to contribute positively to global economic growth.
