BEIJING, March 23 (Reuters) - China will make efforts to stabilise automobile, consumer electronics consumption, and expand home appliances and green building materials consumption, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said on Thursday.

The country will also consolidate its leading position in industries such as new energy vehicles, photovoltaic equipment, mobile communications and power equipment, the ministry said in a statement on its website.

China's industrial economy is still recovering in general, and the issue of insufficient demand is prominent, the ministry added.
