BEIJING : China has no apparent inflation or deflation at the moment, and it has a relatively large amount of room to manoeuvre monetary policy, a senior Communist Party official said on Saturday.
China is confident of reaching the annual economic growth target of around 5 per cent, Han Wenxiu, deputy head of the party's office for financial and economic affairs, said at a China Development Forum in Beijing.
