Are you a student? greatlakes We expect the Chinese economy to grow at 7%-7.5% out to 2015 (we cut our forecast for 2013 to 7.5% from 8% in our June Global Economic Outlook), consistent with our base case of a gradual rebalancing as outlined in recent comments from China's senior leadership. Continued consumption growth even at the bottom end of the range seen in 2006-2012 can help maintain this growth rate even if investment growth slows. Furthermore, the labour market has so far remained resilient as growth has come down to about 7.5%, helping maintain social stability.
