The CCWE sees the country's gross domestic product to grow by 8 percent in the first half and by 8.4 percent for the whole year.
Li Daokui, head of the CCWE and a former central bank advisor, said that the economy is "showing healthy signs of stabilization".

"The negative effects of slow export growth are gradually declining," the research center said.
