专家:对中国经济充满信心

China's central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan, along with Finance Minister Lou Jiwei, has tried to ease concerns over China's economy at the meeting in Ankara, Turkey.

They mainly focused their attention on China's stock market, RMB exchange rate and economic reforms while addressing Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors from the G20 economies.

Zhang Liqun with the State Council's Development Research Center says their speeches should help restore confidence in the state of China's economy.

"The key message both Zhou Xiaochuan and Lou Jiwei wanted to convey through their speeches is that people should not doubt the future of China's economy, in spite of short-term fluctuations."

Governor Zhou Xiaochuan says measures taken by Chinese government have shielded the stock markets from a collapse, while at the same time, reducing systemic risk.

Chinese markets have shed nearly 40-percent since peaking in mid-June.

Zhou Xiaochuan's speech has heard him suggest that a series of measures that have been taken, including the PBOC providing liquidity to the market, have worked.

He's also told his G20 counterparts the devaluation of RMB isn't likely to last for long, given China's current economic status, as well as its large surplus in foreign trade.

Researcher Zhang Liqun with the State Council says he believes Zhou Xiaochuan's comments will help.

"These messages may help stabilize the stock and currency markets. Chinese stocks have fallen to just over 3-thousand, with the market bubble almost deflated given the low price-earning ratio. And in the forex market, a sharp rise or decline is unlikely to happen again."

Finance Minister Lou Jiwei, meanwhile, has told the G20 in Ankara, that China is still maintaining 7 percent growth, despite changes to demographics and a lower rate-of-return on exports.

Lian Ping, chief economist with the Communication Bank of China, says maintaining 7-percent growth over the mid-term shouldn't be difficult to achieve.

"The figures show that China's economy is still stable and the Chinese government is confident it has sufficient policy space to keep a mid-to-high speed of growth. In my opinion, the 7-percent target can probably be achieved over the coming 5-years."

Zhang Liqun with the Development Research Center of the State Council suggests economic reforms still remain the key.

"China has been seeking a slower but more stable growth over the past 3-years while pushing forward with reforms. The recent fluctuations in the market won't affect the course of reforms. Efforts will pay off as long as the government can continue to streamline the administration, delegate power and improve market supervision."

At the same time, China's Finance Minister has told the G20 meeting in Ankara that 7-million new jobs created in China in the first half year, and says its the government's belief this will continue to stimulate personal consumption levels.
