The Chinese economy expanded a revised 13% in 2007 from a year earlier, up from an original estimate of 11.9%, the National Bureau of Statistics said in a statement on its Web site. Therefore, China economy at the end of 2007 was 25.731 trillion yuan ($3.766 trillion) as compared to Germany’s GDP was $3.54 trillion in 2007, using end-of-year exchange rates. China was the third largest economy at the end of 2007. The Euro went higher in early 2008 but then came back down.
The U.S. ranked as the world’s largest economy in 2007 with a GDP of $13.808 trillion followed by Japan at $4.38 trillion.
Uwe Parpart, chief Asian strategist with Cantor Fitzgerald in Hong Kong, said December’s money supply and lending growth data released Tuesday suggested China’s economy was unlikely to cool as much as consensus expectations suggested.
“My contrarian view …is that China will grow by 8%.,” wrote Parpart in a note Wednesday. “That view received strong support from today’s [Tuesday’s] releases of December export, money supply, and reserve accumulation figures, all surprising well to the upside.”
