In its monthly report for March, the government will drop language describing the economy as “recovering” for the first time in six years and nine months, the paper said, without citing sources. Sources have told Reuters the government is expected to cut its assessment of the economy in March, though officials were divided on whether to remove the language “recovering” in the assessment.
