The growth rate of China's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2009 has been modified up to 9.2 percent from the previous 9.1 percent, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) announced Tuesday.
After the revision, China's GDP at current value was 34.0903 trillion yuan ($5.15 trillion) in 2009, up by 39.6 billion yuan from the previous figure, the NBS said in a statement on its website.
The NBS gave no explanation for the revision, but a chart breaking down the output figures indicated all the additional gains came from the tertiary, or service, sector.
After the verification, the value added output of the tertiary sector was 14.8038 trillion yuan, 39.6 billion yuan more than the figure announced by the NBS in July.
