专家：中国有望实现全年经济增长目标

经济学家认为，在政府采取有效措施控制疫情和稳定市场预期的前提下，中国今年可能实现5.5%左右的年度增长目标。尽管国内疫情反复和复杂严峻的外部环境使中国面临的压力越来越大，但他们认为，中国有大量的政策工具来稳定整体经济，而疫情的影响可能是暂时的。

China will likely meet its annual growth target of around 5.5 percent this year with the help of the government's effective measures to control COVID-19 outbreaks and stabilize market expectations, economists and experts said.
经济学家和专家表示，在政府采取有效措施控制疫情和稳定市场预期的前提下，中国今年可能实现5.5%左右的年度增长目标。

Despite facing mounting pressure from a resurgence in domestic COVID-19 cases and a complicated and grim external environment, they believe the country has plenty of policy tools to stabilize the overall economy, while the impact of outbreaks is likely to be temporary.

Citing China's faster-than-expected 4.8 percent year-on-year growth in the first quarter, they said there still exists a gap between first-quarter growth and the country's annual growth target, calling for more steps to accelerate macroeconomic policy support, especially for hard-hit enterprises and sectors.

With many market entities like micro and small businesses facing difficulties and mounting pressures, he said, more efforts should be made to actively respond to the concerns of those entities to stabilize market expectations and provide stronger macroeconomic policy adjustments to stabilize the economy.

Wang's views were echoed by Liu Qiao, dean of the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University. Considering the strong resilience of the economy and China's ample tools, Liu believes China has the confidence to meet its annual growth target of around 5.5 percent in 2022.
