China to woo private investors for water projects

14 Oct, 2014

BEIJING: The pace of China's investment growth slowdown is set to ease in coming months as the country attracts private capital into key water conservancy projects, a senior official at the country's powerful economic planning agency said on Tuesday.

Li Pumin, general secretary of the National Development and Reform Commision, made the comments at a press briefing.

The remarks from the top economic planning agency followed a recent pledge by Premier Li Keqiang to launch major investment projects in information networks, water conservancy and environmental protection to support the economy.
