I posted yesterday on the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) concern on slowing investment.
Reuters have a bit more detail now for those who want a follow up
- Fixed-asset investment (FAI) in the first seven months of the year grew at the slowest pace on record since early 1996
- initial investment approvals - an indicator of future activity - have dropped off sharply
- authorities should step up fiscal and financial measures to give it a boost
- Beijing urging more infrastructure spending
