BEIJING  -- Beijing's gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to break the 1-trillion-yuan mark (146.2 billion US dollars) this year thanks to its hosting of the Olympic Games, a city official said on Sunday.

The Games had given impetus and vigor to Beijing's economy and helped the city achieve sound and fast economic development, said Wang Haiping, deputy director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission (BMDRC).

In 2007, the city's GDP grew 12.3 percent over a year earlier to stand at 900 billion yuan, twice that of 2001 when it won the bid to host the Games, Wang said. Over the past six years, Beijing's annual GDP growth was 12.4 percent on average.

Figures from the Beijing Statistics Bureau (BSB) showed the city's GDP reached 497.3 billion yuan in the first half, up 11 percent from the same period last year.

Wang said GDP per capita had risen from 3,262 US dollars in 2001 to 7,654 dollars last year, and would surpass 8,000 dollars this year.

Hosting the Olympic Games had boosted the city's economy with infrastructure investment, a better environment, increased consumption and improved living standards, he said.

According to the BSB, Beijing's annual GDP growth from 2005 to 2008, which saw huge investments for the Olympics, would reach 11.8 percent on average, 0.8 percentage point higher than the 2001-2005 period.

In 2007, the Olympic factor contributed 1.14 percent to the growth rate, according to BSB estimates.
