国家统计局最新数据显示，一季度中国国内生产总值296299亿元，按不变价格计算，同比增长5.3%，比上年四季度环比增长1.6%。
亚洲开发银行驻中国代表处经济和战略部主任萩原景子（Akiko Terada-Hagiwara）近期在接受中国日报独家专访时表示，预计今年中国将保持稳定增长，这将确保中国经济成功转型，实现以绿色技术和更平衡的增长模式为特征高质量发展。
China is expected to maintain stable growth this year, ensuring the transition to high-quality development featuring green technology and a more balanced growth model.
对于一季度经济数据，她认为，“一季度中国GDP增长表现强劲，这要归功于财政政策的支撑，这也有助于经济增长。GDP增长主要是由公共投资推动的。然而，我们仍然需要关注房地产等薄弱环节。”
"The first quarter GDP growth came out strongly thanks to supportive fiscal policy. We see that this is helping the economy to gain momentum. The growth was mainly driven by public investment. We, however, continue to watch out for the weak spots such as the property sector."
萩原景子认为，中国“积极的财政政策”和“适度宽松的货币政策”将推动投资，从而维持全年的增长势头。此外，必要时中国仍有空间来加强相关政策对经济增长的支持。
The country's "supportive and accommodative" fiscal and monetary policies will drive investment to sustain growth momentum for the year. Besides, there is still policy room for the country to strengthen support for economic growth, when necessary.
同时，她也指出，随着劳动力市场和居民收入前景改善，中国的经济增长将更加得益于消费。
"The country's growth this year will be better supported by consumption, as the labor market and people's income prospects are improving," she said.
亚洲开发银行不久前上调了对今年中国经济增长的预期，从去年12月份预测的4.5%的年增幅上调至4.8%。
