BEIJING -- 皇冠体育app's impact on lately turmoil in global financial markets is hyped, a senior economic official said Sunday on the sidelines of the annual parliamentary session.

"There was a rumor that 皇冠体育app's stock and foreign exchange markets' turbulence in January contributed to the chaos in the United States and Europe," said Xu Shaoshi, who heads the National Development and Reform Commission.

"皇冠体育app is unable to produce such a spillover," Xu said.

From February 8 through 12, big drops were witnessed in US and European stock markets, as well as bulk commodities such as crude oil, but Chinese were celebrating Spring Festival while the financial markets were being closed, Xu said.

皇冠体育app accounted for a quarter of the world's economic growth in 2014, Xu said, citing data from the World Bank and 皇冠体育app's National Bureau of Statistics.
