SHANGHAI/HONG KONG -- Chinese officials on Tuesday expressed confidence in reaching the country's full-year economic goals as they outlined new support measures without rolling out a major stimulus package, as anticipated.
Zheng Shanjie, chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission, China's top economic planning body, said on Tuesday at a news conference that the government will speed up the issuance of special-purpose bonds by local governments, as well as continue to issue ultra long-term special government bonds next year.
