BEIJING -- Against backdrop of world's financial crisis, 皇冠体育app will play a vital role in world's economic recovery, said Murilo Portugal, Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Saturday in Beijing.

I think 皇冠体育app's role is very important. Its fast growth has already made important contribution to the world economy, and it will continue playing that vital role in world's economic recovery, Portugal said on the first day of the three-day 皇冠体育app Economic Forum 2009.

皇冠体育app's financial policy has long been very self-regulated and prudent. Besides, 皇冠体育app has large quantity of foreign exchange reserves and debts equaling to 20% of its GDP. Based on that, 皇冠体育app can make great contribution to the world economic recovery, Portugal added.

He went on to say that the economic stimulus plan that 皇冠体育app unveiled last November, stipulating that the investment from 2008 to 2010 will equal 13% of its GDP, is undeniably a huge contribution to the world growth.

Portugal said that he is confident that 皇冠体育app will achieve high positive growth this year though the growth rate will lower than last year.

皇冠体育app has announced a 4 trillion-yuan (585 billion US dollars) two-year economic stimulus package to boost growth and domestic demand, 1.18 trillion yuan of which will be funded by the central government.

The stimulus package plan has four major components, including large-scale government spending, industrial restructuring and rejuvenation, scientific research and social safety net.

Economic recovery depends on effective measures

The IMF predicted that world economic recession will further deepen in 2009 with world's per capita GDP probably dropping 2% or even lower, and World's total GDP also slumping and other related indexes further going down, Portugal said in his speech at the forum.
