Economists See China Output Recovering to Hit 2% Growth in 2020

China’s economy will expand 2% this year, according to a survey of economists, signaling a slow but steady recovery from the historic slump in the first quarter.

Growth in the current quarter will be 5.2% from a year ago, faster than the 3.2% expansion in the three months to June. The survey of 67 economists was conducted in the week after second-quarter data showed a faster-than-expected recovery.
