China hopes for 10% economic growth, 3% inflation in 2010

It would be a "good result" for China's economy if the country could achieve an economic growth of around 10 percent and around 3 percent rise in consumer prices in 2010, Chinese statistics chief said Wednesday.

Ma Jiantang, director of the National Bureau of Statistics, made such remarks at the ongoing World Economic Forum Annual Meeting of the New Champions in north China's port city of Tianjin.

He said he is not worried about the speed of China's economic growth. What worries him are how to accelerate the transformation of the nation's economic development pattern, how to enhance the rates of resources utilization efficiency and how to protect the environment.

Ma said the country should put more efforts into the economic restructuring and the transformation of the nation's economic growth model.
