China's industrial output growth is expected to reach 8% in Q2 and exceed 10 percent in the second half of this year, according to a report released Thursday by Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Heavy and light industries maintained slow but stable development in the first four months.  Industrial output growth slowed to 7.3 percent year on year in April from 8.3 percent in March. The figure for January-April was up 5.5 percent year on year.

For the stable development for the remaining of the year, the report suggests to focus on boosting internal demand, adjust industrial structure, and stablize export.
