Haier Gp may lower 2009 Asia-Pacific growth forecast

TAIPEI, June 29 (Reuters) - Haier Group, China's largest electronics appliance maker, may lower its Asia-Pacific sales growth target outside of China for this year as the economic slowdown impacts revenue, a senior company official said on Monday.

"Looking at our sales figures for January to May, we may have to revise our growth target for this year slightly downwards," Yan Xiaoming, head of the company's Asia-Pacific operations, told reporters.

The group is the parent company of electronics maker Haier (1169.HK) and Qingdao Haier (600690.SS). (Reporting by Argin Chang; Editing by Chris Lewis)
