The size of China's service sector is expected to expand beyond 100 trillion yuan (about 14.49 trillion U.S. dollars) in the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), head of the country's top economic planner said Friday.

Zheng Shanjie, head of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), made the remarks at a press conference on the sidelines of the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress.

Zheng said the NDRC will work with other government departments to roll out a number of supportive measures to fully unlock the potential in the high-quality development of the service sector.
