China’s Growth Slows, Inflation Rises

Friday, April 15th, 2011 at 3:15 am UTCPosted 3 hours ago

Chinese officials said Friday that the economy grew at a robust but slightly slower pace in the first quarter of 2011, while inflation rose, despite efforts to lower living costs.

The National Bureau of Statistics said the gross domestic product expanded by 9.7 percent in the first three months of the year, slightly below 9.8 percent in the final quarter of 2010.

However, consumer prices rose 5.4 percent over a year ago, driven by an 11.7 percent surge in food costs. That was up despite officials raising interest rates four times since October in efforts to cool prices.

Premier Wen Jiabao said this week that the government would do whatever it could to bring prices down.
