Group 1 - The national GDP growth target is likely to remain around "5%" as two-thirds of provinces have lowered their targets, but the weighted average provincial target still reaches 5.1%, indicating support for maintaining a national target of approximately 5% [1] - The policy stance is more about "bottoming out than stimulating," meaning that even with a 5% target, there will not be aggressive stimulus measures.
