China
China’s vigorous expansion continued in early 2010. GDP growth is projected to exceed 11% this year before slowing to just under 10% in 2011, as the impact of the stimulus package diminishes. With the terms of trade deteriorating and domestic demand remaining strong, the current account surplus may continue to fall sharply in 2010, to around 2¾ per cent of GDP, and rebound only slightly in 2011. With food prices easing, inflationary pressures are likely to remain subdued.
