BEIJING, Oct 21 (Reuters) - China reaffirmed its "active fiscal policy and appropriately loose monetary policy" stance on Wednesday, pledging consistency even as it adopted new rhetoric to express greater confidence about the economy's recovery.
The State Council, or cabinet, said that the trend of recovery had been "consolidated" in China, but was cautious about the broader outlook, noting that the global economic recovery would be slow and that there were still imbalances at home.
