China’s economic policies "face increasing dilemmas" because the impact of the global financial crisis is more serious than expected, said Premier Wen Jiabao, the Wall Street Journal reported. Wen said China will carry on with its current economic policies but will increase their flexibility to "solve current significant and urgent problems." He said China will maintain policy continuity to ensure "steady and relatively fast" growth. The Premier’s comments follow last week’s announcement that two purchasing managers’ indices showed a slowdown in manufacturing over the month of June, prompting Wen to say, "China’s economic is is currently developing in the direction envisaged by the macroeconomic adjustment and control policies." While signs of a slowdown in China’s economy are beginning to emerge, the government revised 2009 economic growth to 9.15% from 8.7% due to higher contributions from secondary and tertiary industries.
