Quarter-on-quarter GDP

CHINA'S National Bureau of Statistics yesterday said it will publish quarter-on-quarter GDP growth results from this month, a common practice in developed countries, to better reflect economic changes.

The NBS will also release the month-on-month growth of industrial output, fixed-asset investment and retail sales. China formerly published the macro-economic data on a yearly basis. The new move is a part of the statistical reform initiated in 2009.

"The new mechanism may more accurately reflect short-term economic changes to provide better information for macro-economic policy-making," said Peng Zhilong, director of the Department of National Accounts of NBS.
