China’s services sector activity expanded at the fastest pace in five months in December, according to a widely watched private survey, offering some optimism as policymakers in Beijing seek to stimulate a faltering recovery in the world’s second-largest economy.The seasonally adjusted Caixin services purchasing managers’ index released on Thursday rose to 52.9 in December from 51.5 the previous month, above the 50-point threshold that separates expansion from contraction. The figure was ahead of the forecast of 51.6 by economists polled by Bloomberg.
一項受到廣泛關注的民間調查顯示,去年12月,中國服務業活動以5個月來最快的速度擴張。在中國政府的政策制定者尋求刺激全球第二大經濟體步履蹣跚的復甦之際,這給人們帶來了一些樂觀情緒。
