The U.S. economy grew more than initially appreciated in the third quarter, extending a solid stretch of economic expansion.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) stated on Friday that revising GDP data is a common international practice and has always been a routine part of China's government statistics work. And the revised-up GDP figure for 2023 will not have a significant impact on the GDP growth rate for 2024.

The World Bank raised on Thursday its forecast for China's economic growth in 2024 and 2025, but warned that subdued household and business confidence, along with headwinds in the property sector, would keep weighing it down next year.

China revised upwards its 2023 gross domestic product (GDP) by 2.7 percent to 129.4 trillion yuan (US$17.73 trillion), a top statistics official said on Thursday, while the World Bank raised its forecast for China's economic growth in 2024 and 2025.

The World Bank has recently updated its economic forecasts for China, raising the projected GDP growth for 2024 and 2025. The World Bank now expects China's GDP to grow by 4.9% in 2024, up from its June forecast of 4.
