China's National Bureau of Statistics director Ning Jizhe with some comments about the data release
- Survey shows that unemployment rate in December is under 5%
- Urban unemployment rate in December is 4.98%
- Economy created more than 13 million new jobs in 2017
- Corporate debt ratio down by 0.5% y/y in 2017
In case you missed it, China released their 2017 GDP figures earlier here.
Anyway, just some general comments by the head of the NBS. Sort of like a window dressing to proceedings.
