CHINA: Analyst views on China GDP:

- Barclays: Although activity data are likely to moderate in March on a high

base, we think the strong NBS manufacturing PMI print, coupled with robust

January-February activity data, suggest that the economy remains on a solid

footing on robust domestic and external demand in Q1. We see upside risks to our

Q1 GDP growth forecasts of 6.7% y/y (6.9% q/q saar).

- CBA: Q1 GDP growth is likely to be steady in light of the solid Jan-Feb data.

Retail sales are expected to grow steadily as well. Industrial production growth

probably have eased in March after the heating season. Fixed asset investment

growth is expected to slow due to deleveraging.
