China's annual gross domestic production (GDP) growth has slowed to 9.6 per cent in the third quarter, coming in slightly above market forecasts.
According to China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), GDP growth slowed compared to the 10.3 per cent economic expansion in the second quarter.
Economists had forecast third-quarter growth of 9.5 per cent.
NBS says China attributed the slowing pace of economic growth to a volatile domestic and international environment.
Chinese consumer prices rose by 3.6 per cent in the year to September, the highest reading since October 2008.
