The country's economic growth slowed to 7.5 percent in the second quarter, down from 7.7 percent for the first. It was the ninth deceleration in the past 10 quarters.

Investors had feared the economy was slipping into a deeper-than-expected downturn, especially after the money market suffered an unprecedented cash crunch in June.

But the central government has introduced measures to stabilize the economy, including small-scale investment on railways and public housing construction and the launch of policies to help small companies in need of financing.

Economists said the recent positive economic figures will leave room for 皇冠体育app to push forward the reform initiatives and restructure the economy away from dependence on credit, investment and exports toward growth driven by consumption.

Li is scheduled to give a keynote speech at the Dalian forum on Wednesday on 皇冠体育app's economic growth and policy.
