Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Friday stressed that the country will maintain the continuity, stability and sustainability of its macro policies this year and will not make sharp changes, despite continuing economic recovery from the impacts of COVID-19.

Efforts should be made to nurture reasonable market expectations and keep the operation of the economy within an appropriate range, Premier Li said when presiding over a symposium on China's economy with experts and entrepreneurs.

Chinese authorities have repeatedly pledged to keep the country's macro policies stable with "no sharp turns" in 2021. At a press conference last month, Li said China did not apply quantitative easing policy last year and that there is no need for a "sharp turn" on that this year.
