我國經濟增長目標引發全世界關注
With China's economic growth slowing in 2016 to a 26-year low, the world is watching as the Chinese government prepares to announce this year's growth target in early March at the national two sessions.
隨着2016年中國經濟增速降至26年來新低，全世界都在關注中國政府準備在三月初召開的全國兩會上宣佈的2017年增長目標。Although the pace still beat most major economies, the country's year-on-year growth has slowed for six years in a row.
儘管這一速度仍然高過大多數主要經濟體，但是中國已經連續六年經濟增速同比有所放緩。Huang Yiping, a member of the central bank monetary policy committee and an economist at Peking University, said that the government should set a more flexible target for economic growth in 2017 to make more room for reforms, proposing a target range of 6-7%.
央行貨幣政策委員會委員、北京大學經濟學家黃益平稱，政府2017年經濟增長目標的設定應該更靈活，爲改革留出更大空間。他建議的目標區間爲6-7%。
The Asian Development Bank, however, forecast in December that China's growth would be 6.4% in 2017, while the World Bank was more optimistic, keeping its earlier prediction of China growth in 2017 at 6.5% in January, in line with the forecast made by government think tank Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
而亞洲開發銀行去年12月預測的2017年中國經濟增速爲6.4%。世界銀行則更加樂觀，1月份，該行維持了其先前對2017年中國經濟增長6.5%的預測，這與政府智庫中國社科院做出的預測一致。Either way, China's growth would remain within a reasonable range and is unlikely to become a "black swan" event of the world economy in 2017.
無論如何，中國的增長將保持在合理區間內，不太可能成爲2017年世界經濟的"黑天鵝"事件。
