China April factory output up 9.3pc





China’s annual industrial output growth quickened to 9.3 percent in April, recovering from a seven-month low hit in March but still missing market expectations, data showed on Monday.


Fixed-asset investment, an important driver of economic activity, grew slower-than-expected at 20.6 percent in the first four months of 2013 compared to the same period a year ago.


Economists polled by Reuters had forecast annual April industrial production growth of 9.5 percent and a 21 percent rise in fixed asset investment in the first four months from a year earlier.
