BEIJING, Jan. 14 (Xinhuanet) --The country's GDP growth rate will slow to 8.7 percent this year from 10 percent in 2010, and a key challenge in 2011 will be to ensure that anti-inflationary measures do not "significantly" reduce growth, the World Bank said on Thursday.The bank estimates that global GDP, which expanded by 3.9 percent in 2010, will slow to 3.3 percent in 2011, before reaching 3.6 percent in 2012. Developing countries will continue to outstrip growth in developed countries, it said.Amid credit-tightening measures to combat inflation and surging property prices, China's growth is expected to ease to 8.4 percent in 2012, the bank said.Despite the slowdown, China will spearhead Asia's economic expansion. According to the bank's forecast, the overall growth rate for developing Asian economies will ease to 8 percent from last year's 9.3 percent as governments rein in credit to cool inflationary pressures."For China, a big concern is how to ensure a soft landing of the economy without significantly reducing growth when the government takes measures to curb inflation," said Hans Timmer, director of development prospects at the World Bank.The consumer price index (CPI), a main gauge of inflation, accelerated to a 28-month high of 5.1 percent in November from a year earlier and most economists predict that it will be in the region of 4 to 4.5 percent this year.In a bid to combat inflation, the central bank hiked interest rates by 25 basis points twice in the last quarter of 2010.Ardo Hansson, lead economist of the World Bank's Beijing Office, said the country needs more flexibility in its foreign exchange policy to fight inflation.China's central bank set the yuan's mid-point beyond 6.60 against the US dollar for the first time on Thursday, breaching an important barrier just days before President Hu Jintao's visit to the United States next week.The People's Bank of China set the mid-point, from which the currency can rise or fall 0.5 percent on a given day, for daily trading against the dollar at 6.5997, the first time it had broken through 6.60.The yuan has risen around 3.6 percent since June when authorities dropped a peg with the US dollar that had been set to support the economy during the global financial crisis.Some US politicians have been pressing China to allow the currency to rise at a faster pace to help narrow a trade gap.US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner repeated his call on Wednesday for a faster appreciation of the yuan and added that such a move could lead to an easing of restrictions on US technology exports to China, with both civilian and military use."The recent quickened pace of yuan appreciation could be considered as a gesture by the Chinese government before Hu's visit to the US," said Dong Xian'an, chief macroeconomic analyst with Industrial Securities.According to Dong, the yuan will appreciate by 5 to 6.6 percent this year, "a moderate pace".Wang Tao, chief China economist at UBS Securities, said they expected the currency to grow by 5 percent in 2011.The yuan can now be increasingly used in cross-border transactions, in a bid to reduce dependence on the US dollar after Premier Wen Jiabao said in March that he was "worried" about holdings of dollar-denominated assets.The central bank is allowing banks and enterprises in areas that carry yuan-settled trade to use yuan-denominated investment overseas directly, it said in a statement on its website on Thursday, describing the initiative as a pilot program.According to data from HSBC, the average monthly volume of yuan-settled trade surged from 0.6 billion yuan ( million) in 2009 to 68 billion yuan between June and November 2010. And one-third of China's cross-border trade may be settled in yuan by 2016, as the government pushes for the internationalization of the currency.

BEIJING, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) -- China's retail sales of consumer goods grew 18.7 percent in November year on year, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said Saturday.Retail sales of consumer goods stood at 1.39 trillion yuan (208.1 billion U.S. dollars) in November and the growth rate was 0.1 percentage points higher than that in October, the NBS spokesman Sheng Laiyun said at a press conference.Retail sales of consumer goods in the January-to-November period reached 13.92 trillion yuan, up 18.4 percent from the same period last year.The growth rate in the January-to-November period was 0.1 percentage points higher than that in the January-to-October period.The NBS said urban consumption hit 1.2 trillion yuan in November, up 19 percent year on year.Rural residents spent 186.5 billion yuan on consumption goods in November, up 17 percent year on year.In breakdown, catering sector sales rose 19.6 percent to 160.1 billion yuan in November from a year earlier, while retail sales increased 18.6 percent to 1.23 trillion yuan in November year on year.

BEIJING, Dec. 20 (Xinhua) -- A draft amendment to China's Criminal Law remained unchanged in reducing the number of crimes subject to the death penalty.The draft amendment was submitted Monday to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), China's top legislature, for its second reading.In August this year, the NPC Standing Committee discussed the draft amendment during its first reading. The draft amendment will make 13 crimes exempt from capital punishment, if it becomes law.The crimes included: smuggling cultural relics, gold, silver, and other precious metals and rare animals and their products out of the country; carrying out fraudulent activities with financial bills; carrying out fraudulent activities with letters of credit; the false issuance of exclusive value-added tax invoices to defraud export tax refunds or to offset taxes; the forging or selling of forged exclusive value-added tax invoices; the teaching of crime-committing methods; and robbing ancient cultural ruins.During the process of the NPC Standing Committee's discussion, when the draft amendment was released for public submissions, some people suggested some of the 13 crimes be given death penalty while others thought that more crimes should be exempt from capital punishment.If the amendment becomes law, it will be the first time the number of crimes subject to the death penalty has been reduced since the People's Republic of China enacted its criminal law in 1979. It will also be a move by China to limit the use of the death penalty, after the Supreme People's Court in 2007 began to review and approve all death penalty decisions.The current law allows the death penalty for 68 crimes. The draft amendment, if passed, will reduce that number to 55.

BEIJING, Dec. 3 (Xinhua) -- During the 11th Five-Year Plan period (2006-2010), China spent 3.26 trillion yuan on social security, an annual increase of 17.6 percent, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) told Xinhua Friday.Wang Jun, vice minister of the MOF, said in the 2006-2010 period, the social security expenditure from the central government stood at 1.4 trillion yuan (210.19 billion U.S. dollars), which was 2.1 times the expenditure in the previous five years.As the improvement of civil welfare is a crucial component of the harmonious society China is pursuing, financial authorities at all levels should continue to raise investments in social security when making the 2011 fiscal budget and plans for the 12th Five-Year Plan starting from 2011, Wang said.

BEIJING, Nov. 26 (Xinhuanet) -- The Shanghai municipal government is making moves to enhance its mergers and acquisitions (M&As) market, a move in tune with the cosmopolitan city's ambition to make itself a global financial hub by 2020.The city will initially actively propel the construction of its financial market and M&A-related auxiliary services, especially the agents who facilitate deals, to aid these activities, said Shanghai Vice-Mayor Tu Guangshao on Thursday.He said the local government is also considering setting up a China Mergers and Acquisitions Association in Shanghai.Meanwhile, plans to open an M&A museum are also in the pipeline to help create an M&A culture in the city."We've made concrete efforts to encourage benign conditions to allow these plans to materialize," Tu said.The M&A market, in turn, will help catalyze improvements in the city's financial market functions, structures, and systems, as well as boosting badly needed adjustments to its economic structure. This will help Shanghai further speed up its plans to become a global financial center by 2020, an ambition which was approved by the State Council in March 2009.According to figures from the Shanghai headquarters of the People's Bank of China (PBOC), there are 11 financial institutions running M&A loan businesses in the city, lending more than 10 billion yuan (.5 billion) during the first seven months of this year.The central government in September issued guidelines on the promotion of enterprise M&A in six major industries, including automobiles and cement, to accelerate cross-border corporate restructuring and cater for the nation's aim of rebalancing the economy as the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015) approaches."We should increase support for cross-border M&A activities, which is of great significance to China's economy and will help stimulate the Asian economic recovery," said Su Ning, board chairman of China UnionPay, the country's only credit card network.The former vice-governor of the PBOC also urged more private firms, which have actively sought areas of overseas expansion, to participate in cross-border deals using their extensive capital resources.China's private economy accounts for more than half of the nation's gross domestic product, according to Huang Mengfu, vice-chairman of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. "Active private investment, as such, is pivotal to the nation's economic development the non-State economy will certainly replace investment by State-owned firms as a driving force to boost the Chinese economy after the financial crisis," said Huang, who also serves as chairman of All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce.Privately owned auto maker Zhejiang Geely Holding Group in August completed its .8 billion acquisition of a stake in Volvo Car Corporation, a move which emphasizes the desire of China's cash-rich private companies to make acquisitions abroad.In addition, industry experts said that financial institutions should develop more financial innovations to supply China's overseas acquisition wave, and encourage more private equity funds to participate in cross-border deals, rather than simply focusing on pre-Initial Public Offering projects.
