Tension grows around China's stimulus plan as inflation slows and the production output does not meet the forecasts. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the inflation rate dropped by 3% from the previous year, production grew by 9.6% and the retail sales increased by 13.8%. In contrast, the projected figures by Bloomberg were 3.2% with regards to the inflation and 9.8% - manufacturing output. With fears of the Grexit, Spain's crumbling banking system and the weakening labor market in the U.S., Wen Jiabao could inject further stimulus funding to meet the 7.5% growth objective.
