RTTNews reports that according to the report from the National Bureau of Statistics, China's economy gained further momentum towards the end of 2020 as the domestic activity continued to recover from the Covid-19 driven downturn.
GDP climbed 6.5 percent on year in the fourth quarter of 2020. The rate exceeded the expected 6.1 percent and up from 4.9 percent growth posted in the third quarter.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, GDP expanded 2.6 percent but slower than the revised 3 percent rise in the preceding three months and the 3.2 percent increase economists had forecast.
In the whole year of 2020, GDP advanced 2.3 percent, making China the only major economy to avoid a contraction amid the Covid-19 pandemic. However, this was the weakest growth since 1970s.
