BEIJING, Oct. 20 (Xinhua) -- The property sector saw a year-on-year growth of 8.8 percent in the third quarter of this year, according to official data released on Thursday.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) released the GDP figures of different industries on Thursday morning. The data showed the property sector's GDP expanded 8.9 percent in the first three quarters to reach 3.5 trillion yuan (520 billion U.S. dollars).

Amid the investment frenzy, over a dozen Chinese cities have introduced measures to cool overheated markets, which led to marked drops in sales.

While a drop in housing sales will add downward pressure on the economy, we do not really foresee a risk of sharp investment slowdown, and in the coming quarter China's monetary policy will be less aggressive than estimated, Zhou Hao, Senior EM Economist Asia with Commerzbank, said in a research note.

Thursday's data also showed the finance sector grew 5.6 percent in the third quarter and 6.3 percent in the first three quarters.

China's GDP growth remained at 6.7 percent in the third quarter, which kept the country on track to meet the government's target of 6.5 to 7 percent growth for the year. The economy expanded 6.9 percent in 2015, the slowest pace in a quarter of a century.

Nice, France, June 12 (Xinhua) -- Arkadiusz Milik' s goal in the 51st minute helped Poland to edge freshman Northern Ireland 1-0 in the UEFA EURO 2016 Group C here on Sunday.

"It's just the beginning, the next matches will show that we can play even better," said midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak.

Poland dominated the match but wasted many times to score under the tight defense of Northern Ireland in the first half.

Lewandowski, Poland' s top star, scored 13 in the Euro 2016 qualifier, was besieged by defenders of Northern Ireland when he touched the ball and had no chance to score.

"The team has realized that we won't win as individuals but we can achieve something as 23 players in a squad," Krychowiak said. "Every player thinks in a collective way."

Milik, a forward played for Ajax Amsterdam, held the opportunity to score after collecting Blaszczykowski's pass from the right.

Poland's win was its first ever at a European Championship following two disappointing displays in the last two tournaments.

Northern Ireland' s passing completion rate was much too low, and had very few opportunities to score. Enditem
