HONG KONG -- A survey by MasterCard shows that China's household spending will increase, thanks to the government's $586 billion economic stimulus.



A survey of 6,300 families shows that 41% of urban households and 59% of rural households intend to spend more during the next year than they did in the previous 12 months.



"The short- to medium-term income and employment stimulus may well develop into longer-term structural improvement that supports a higher level of household spending," said Yuwa Hedrick Wong, an economic adviser at MasterCard Worldwide.
