China's gross domestic product grew by 7.4% last year, down from 7.7% in 2013, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. It was the slowest pace in 24 years,

GDP expanded 7.3% in October-December, the same as the previous quarter and the fourth quarter of 2013. Factory output last month rose 7.9%, compared with December rates of 8.3% in 2014 and 9.7% in 2013.

Beijing has described last year's growth rate as the "new normal." But some economists predict the central government will stimulate the economy to generate more jobs.
