The International Monetary Fund has upgraded its projection for China's economic growth this year to 5 percent.
IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva spoke to reporters in Beijing on Wednesday after an annual mission to the country.
She said China's economy is projected to grow by 5 percent in 2025 -- up 0.2 percentage points from October.
The increase is attributed to the government's economic measures and lower-than-expected tariffs on exports.
US President Donald Trump's administration lowered additional tariffs on the country last month.
The Chinese government has set a growth target for this year at around 5 percent.
The IMF projection suggests that the target will likely be achieved.
As for 2026, the IMF expects growth of 4.5 percent -- up 0.3 percentage points from October.
It also proposed that China transition to a consumption-led growth model away from an overreliance on exports and investment.
