The IMF on Tuesday lowered its forecast for Chinese economic growth this year to 4.4 percent, despite reduced US tariffs and stimulus measures aimed at mitigating the impact of the Middle East conflict. The Washington-based organisation said "lower US effective tariff rates on Chinese goods, and stimulus measures offset the negative impact of the shock induced by the Middle East conflict" on the world's second-largest economy.
