Editor's note: This is the second story in a series of previews on the "two sessions"-the annual gatherings of the nation's top legislature and its top body of political advisers. The sessions will start in early March.

Economic topics are expected to dominate the annual national legislative and political consultative sessions in March, with the focus likely to include supply-side reforms, growth prospects, real estate, debts and the yuan's value.

Uncertainty in the global economy also is a likely topic for discussion during the two sessions - the plenary meetings of the National People's Congress, the top legislature, and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee, the top political advisory body.
