LONDON, Oct 22 (Reuters) - Consumer goods group Reckitt

expects China to continue to be a meaningful growth

engine for its core business, CEO Kris Licht said on Wednesday,

after third-quarter results showed China delivering another

quarter of double-digit growth.

Reckitt beat expectations for third-quarter like-for-like

net sales growth, boosted by strength in emerging markets, which

marked a bright spot for a sector weighed down by broader

pressures.
