| Chinese economic growth jumps 11.1 percent in Q1 |
BEIJING, Apr. 19 (AP) -- China's sizzling economy jumped 11.1 percent in the first quarter from the same period a year earlier, raising prospects the government will take further measures to cool growth.
The National Bureau of Statistics also said in a news conference that the consumer price index in March rose 3.3 percent from the same month last year, and that fixed-asset investment countrywide grew 23.7 percent.
The rapid economic growth and investment increase come despite a series of policy tightening measures by the government to rein in growth amid worries the economy is overheating. The economy grew by 10.7 percent last year.
