統計局發佈1-2月份經濟數據 中國經濟穩定復甦 Solid growth bodes well for firm recovery
國家統計局日前發佈了1-2月份國民經濟運行數據，從數據上來看，主要生產需求指標出現明顯回升，中國經濟呈現陣陣暖意。不過，專家也指出，當前疫情影響仍在持續，地緣政治衝突加劇，這些因素都給中國經濟復甦帶來了不確定性。
China"s economic growth was better than expected in the first two months of the year, boding well for the steady recovery of the world"s second-largest economy in the first quarter, officials and experts said on Tuesday.
官員和專家3月15日稱，今年1-2月份國民經濟增長好於預期，這預示着第一季度我國經濟將會穩定回升。

專家還表示，2022年我國有望保持經濟運行在合理區間。
However, they warned that the economy also faces downward pressures and challenges due to the complicated external environment and domestic COVID-19 cases. Further easing of fiscal and monetary policies is expected in order to meet the annual GDP growth target of around 5.5 percent.
不過，專家警告稱，我國經濟還面臨着複雜的外部環境和本土新冠病例帶來的下行壓力和挑戰。接下來國家可能會進一步放鬆財政和貨幣政策，以實現5.5%左右的國內生產總值年度增長目標。
Fu Linghui, a spokesman for the National Bureau of Statistics, said at a news conference that China has the conditions to meet the annual growth target, and the strong January-February economic indicators have boosted confidence for recovery over the entire year.

Despite the promising economic data, experts said policymakers still need to step up fiscal and monetary support to prepare the economy for headwinds like the COVID-19 surge as well as a spike in commodity prices amid geopolitical tensions in the coming months.
