On the morning of March 5, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, the fifth session of the 13th National People's Congress (NPC) opened with Premier Li Keqiang presenting the government work report.

According to the government work report, an economic growth target of about 5.5% has been set for 2022. During an interview, Lorenzo Riccardi, treasurer of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, stressed that the trend of the Chinese economy is very important for the direction of the global economy. China's economic growth prospects in 2022 of 5.5% are higher than what was predicted last January by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund; this has conveyed more confidence to foreign investors.
