BEIJING — Premier Wen Jiabao Thursday said China will "significantly increase" spending to counter the effects of a global recession dragging down its export-based economy, but he didn't say how large the new stimulus package would be.

"The global financial crisis continues to spread and get worse," Wen said in an opening speech to the National People's Congress, a largely ceremonial body.

Wen said that global forces could threaten to derail the steady rise of China, which is the world's third-largest economy but is now experiencing its slowest growth in two decades.

William Henry Beveridge, 1st Baron Beveridge (March 5, 1879 – 16 March 1963) was a British economist and social reformer. He is perhaps best known for his 1942 report Social Insurance and Allied Services (known as the Beveridge Report) which served as the basis for the post-World War II Labour government's Welfare State, including specially the National Health Service.
