Notes:

(1) China's GDP growth is inflation-adjusted. Growth in fixed-asset investment, industrial output and retail sales is nominal.

(2) # The government's monthly fixed-asset investment figures are based on urban areas only; it gives overall investment on a quarterly basis.

(3) ~ The Commerce Ministry FDI figures exclude investments in the financial sector. The monthly FDI figures are in some cases calculated by Reuters based on cumulative data released by the Commerce Ministry.

(4) * The quarterly GDP growth figures for 2006 and 2007 do not reflect revisions to full-year growth issued by the National Bureau of Statistics.

(5) ~ Not available (Reporting by Beijing Economics Team)
