BEIJING/HONG KONG (Reuters) -- Chinese leaders pledged on Thursday to deploy "necessary fiscal spending" to meet this year's economic growth target of roughly 5%, acknowledging new problems and raising market expectations for fresh stimulus on top of measures announced this week.
The remarks came in an official readout of a monthly meeting of top Communist Party officials, the politburo. The September meeting is not usually a forum for macroeconomic discussions, which suggests growing anxiety over slowing economic growth.
