BEIJING: China's industrial output growth eased to 6.1 percent on-year in September, government data showed Wednesday, as sluggish global demand weighs on the world's second-largest economy.

Fixed-asset investment rose 8.2 percent in the first nine months of the year, the National Bureau of Statistics said, while retail sales rose 10.7 percent on-year last month, representing a slight acceleration from August.
