Steps called for to keep the economy stable for the remainder of the year

In a recent interview with China Perspectives, Chen Wenling, chief economist of the China Center for International Economic Exchanges, believed that China is fully capable of achieving its annual target. "The immediate priorities are 'stabilities' in some key areas: to stabilize investment, to stabilize consumption, to instill the confidence of market entities and to anchor expectations. I believe it's imperative to keep the momentum going and not let it fizzle out."
