China Aims To Strengthen Controls On Inflation
China aims to strengthen macroeconomic controls and continue with a tight monetary policy to prevent its economy from overheating and inflation from worsening, Vice Premier Wang Qishan said.
Policy makers must 'prevent fast money-supply growth from becoming excessive and structural price increases from escalating to a severe overall inflation,' Mr. Wang said Friday at a financial forum in Shanghai.
Mr. Wang's remarks mostly reiterated Beijing's long-held stance on major economic issues, but represented his most elaborate and comprehensive assessment of such matters since he was promoted to his current position in March. A former Mayor of Beijing, Mr. Wang is now in charge of running China's financial sector.
Mr. Wang said China should continue to adopt a prudent fiscal policy and strengthen control of cross-border capital flows.
'So far this year, China's economy has continued to grow at a fast pace . . . . However, the economy is also facing some problems, mainly reflected in relatively high consumer prices and fixed-asset investment,' he said.
The producer-price index rose 8.1% last month from a year earlier, lifted by energy prices, the National Bureau of Statistics said Friday. The increase was above March's 8% rise and the ninth straight month of acceleration.
The consumer-price index rose 8.3% in March, the fastest pace in nearly 11 years. China's economy grew 10.6% in the first quarter compared with a year earlier. |
