Chinese growth to remain strong

The World Bank has upgraded its 2006 economic growth forecast for China to 9.5%, as it said more measures were needed to cool the economy.

It said it had upgraded its forecast from 9.2% to 9.5%, after faster than expected growth at the start of 2006.

China’s economy grew by a surprising 10.2% in the first quarter, after total growth of 9.9% for all of 2005.
