The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Monday projected China's economy will grow by 5.2 percent in 2023, 0.8 percentage point higher than October 2022 forecast.

国际货币基金组织（IMF）1月30日发布报告，大幅上调今年中国经济增长预期至5.2%，高出去年10月的预测值0.8个百分点。

Global growth is projected to fall from an estimated 3.4 percent in 2022 to 2.9 percent in 2023, then rise to 3.1 percent in 2024, the IMF said.

报告称，今年全球经济增长预期为2.9%，低于去年增速预测值3.4%。同时，IMF将2024年全球经济增长预期调整至3.1%。

The IMF said the rise in central bank rates to fight inflation and Russia-Ukraine conflict continue to weigh on economic activity.

IMF认为，各经济体央行为抗击通胀而上调利率以及乌克兰危机将继续为全球经济活动带来压力。

Global inflation is expected to fall from 8.8 percent in 2022 to 6.6 percent in 2023 and 4.3 percent in 2024, according to the update.

IMF预计今年通胀率将从去年的8.8%下降至6.6%，明年将进一步降至4.3%。

The IMF said the rapid spread of COVID-19 in China dampened growth in 2022, but the recent reopening has paved the way for a faster-than-expected recovery.

报告称，新冠疫情影响了中国2022年的经济发展，但中国优化调整防疫政策为经济更快增长铺平道路。
