Survey pushes GDP another 0.5%

The National Bureau of Statistics again restated GDP figures, increasing annual growth by an average of 0.5% between 1993 and 2004.

NBS said economic output had risen by 10% in 2003 and 10.1% in 2004, up from the 9.5% growth previously stated, the Financial Times reported. The only year for which the NBS did not revise GDP was 1998.
