Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) has released on October 10 the Report of Third Quarter of 2009: Analysis and Forecast on China's Economic Situation. The report predictes that the growth rate of China's GDP this year will reach 8.3% or so with less likely inflation in the year and the next, thus the set goal of economic growth at "8" will be well met.

@oristarA,

The end phrase, "will be well met" is somewhat awkward, but not incorrect. It might read a little better to write ". . . the goal set of economic growth at "8" will easily be met."

@Setanta,
Thank you Set.

But the title of that report in Chinese language has the word "Report" there.

You could capitalize it in English, too. If that is a formal part of the title, then by all means, capitalize it.

@oristarA,
To capitalize the word report alone?

Now why do you ask a question like that? There is nothing in my response to suggest that i'm saying capitalize the word report alone.

If "the Report for the Third Quarter of 2009" is a formal title of a document routinely issued, then capitalize as you see it here.

@Setanta,
Thanks.
I've capitalized them like what you suggested in the starting post already.
You improved it grammatically.

@Setanta,
On October 10th, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences released their Report for The Third Quarter of 2009: Analysis on China's Economic Situation. The report predicts that this year's growth rate of China's GDP will reach approximately 8.3%, thus meeting the economic growth rate goal of 8.

Is the acronym of CASS used later in the report? If not, do not use the acronym here.

Is the goal of 8% for next year or this year? When was the 8% goal set? The answers to these questions could change how I would phrase the second sentence.



(the thread title is not well-written. Clearly, not clear. )

Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) has released on October 10 the Report of Third Quarter of 2009: Analysis and Forecast on China's Economic Situation. The report predictes that the growth rate of China's GDP this year will reach 8.3% or so with less likely inflation in the year and the next, thus the set goal of economic growth at "8" will be well met.

The report pointed out: Pushed by economic stimulus policies, the investment on fixed assets has turned out to be vital momentum for expanding domestic demand and ensuring growth. It is predicted that the total investment this year on social fixed assets will be about 22.7 trillion RMB. Excluding the price factor, the actual investment growth rate is 34.4%, 2.26 times that of the last year.

According to the forecast, the customer price, retail price of consumer goods and the price of investment goods will drop 0.5%, 0.8% and 1.8% respectively. Gross retail sales of customer goods will be up to 1250 billion RMB. The actual growth rate is 16.3%.
