China’a Q3 GDP growth seen slowing to 4.4% as headwinds persist: Reuters poll

China's economy is expected to have slowed in the third quarter as demand at home and abroad faltered, but increased support from the government means Beijing may still be able to achieve its full-year growth target. However, recent economic data has shown some signs of stabilising after a flurry of modest policy measures, but economists believe more support is needed to keep growth on track. On a quarterly basis, GDP is forecast to grow 1.0% in the third quarter, versus growth of 0.8% in April-June, the poll showed.
