GDP growth target seen as attainable

Bain & Co: Stimulus policy measures, technological innovation play key role

China's economy is expected to gain momentum and meet its annual growth target of around 5 percent this year, buoyed by stimulus policy measures and technological innovation, said Jason Ding, managing partner of consultancy Bain & Co Greater China.

The key drivers of China's economic growth come from its large-scale manufacturing, green transition, thriving innovation ecosystem and technological edge, Ding said in an exclusive interview with China Daily, adding he is upbeat about China's economic outlook this year.

"China's 5 percent GDP growth target is ambitious but achievable, reflecting a balancing act between stabilizing the economy and pursuing high-quality development."
