Jan 23 (Reuters) - China is likely to set this year's economic growth target in a range between 4.5% and 5%, the South China Morning Post said on Friday, citing sources briefed on the matter.

China's State Council Information Office (SCIO) did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.

The economy grew 5.0% in 2025, meeting the government's target.
