Updated: 2009-06-24 16:02 Chinese equities rose 1.02 percent Wednesday to close at one-year high after the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said the country's economy has bottomed out.
Total turnover was 217.8 billion yuan ($31.89 billion), expanding from 210.37 billion yuan the previous trading day. China's gross domestic product (GDP) growth was expected to be almost 8 percent in the second quarter this year, said an article on the NBS website Tuesday. The country's GDP grew 6.1 percent in the first quarter in 2009. Statistics showed the decline in China's economy has bottomed out, the article said.
