China's economic indicators continued to show improvement in October, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). Value-added industrial output rose 4.6 per cent year-on-year, exceeding September's 4.5 per cent growth. This is reported by China Daily, a partner of the TV BRICS network.
Retail sales, an important indicator of consumer spending, rose 7.6 per cent in October, up from 5.5 per cent in September.
Fixed asset investment, which includes spending on infrastructure, real estate, machinery and equipment, rose 2.9 per cent year-on-year from January to October and 3.1 per cent from January to September.
Despite signs of stabilisation, NBS notes that the economy still faces volatile and uncertain factors in the external environment and domestic demand remains insufficient.
Experts forecast that the country will continue its macroeconomic policies aimed at strengthening the foundations of economic recovery, with a focus on expanding domestic demand and countering risks.

Joao Paulo CapobiancoBrazilian Minister of the Environment and Climate Change"The BRICS countries have a very high level of responsibility because they share an important part of the world's biodiversity, landscapes, populations, food production and water resources. So, we have an opportunity to lead by example. We have our development bank, which can demonstrate and develop new ways of financing programmes. We can reduce the risks for private capital to invest in restoration and efforts to combat desertification" -
