The main priority for the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 2008-09 will be to maintain political and economic stability, especially during the Olympic Games in the capital, Beijing, due to be held in August 2008. Following the CCP congress in October 2007, new policies are likely to be promulgated during the National People's Congress (the legislature) session in March 2008, focusing in particular on improving social welfare provision under the government's "harmonious society" agenda. A lower net export contribution will see GDP growth ease from an expected 11.4% in 2007 to 10.1% in 2008 and 9.2% in 2009. The government will continue in its efforts to rebalance the economy, attempting to make growth less dependent on exports and investment while introducing measures to boost consumption. The current-account surplus is forecast to remain huge, equivalent to 9.7% of GDP in 2008 and 9% in 2009.
