(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-11-02 13:18 HSBC has raised its forecast of China's GDP growth this year to 8.1 percent, said HSBC Group Chairman Stephen Green in Shanghai on Sunday. The bank's previous forecast was 7.8 percent.
He also expected effects of China's stimulus packages would further lift the country's GDP growth and sustain the recovery momentum into 2010. Green said Shanghai, as China's largest city, had kept a relatively stable growth during the crisis, which suggested it had the potential to become one of the world's financial centers comparable to New York or London.
