China’s economic semi-annual report is out! In the first half of the year, my country’s GDP increased by 2.5% year-on-year, showing a trend of stabilization and recovery as a whole, and successfully stabilized the macroeconomic market. Especially in the second quarter, the economy withstood the pressure and achieved positive growth, which was not easy.
Looking at China’s economic data, we must first look at the overall situation and situation of development. In the first half of the year, the total output of summer grains nationwide was 147.39 million tons; the total import and export of goods increased by 9.4% year-on-year; the added value of high-tech manufacturing industry increased by 9.6% year-on-year, and the investment in high-tech industries increased by 20.2%; the proportion of clean energy consumption in total energy consumption increased year-on-year 1.3%… A series of data not only represents a good development status, but also shows a good momentum of better structure and full power. At the same time, although the main economic indicators fell significantly in March and April, the overall performance in January and February was better than expected, and in May and June, it gradually stabilized and rebounded. As the effectiveness of efficient coordination of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development continues to emerge, the future of economic recovery and development can be expected.
Looking at China’s economic data, it is also necessary to look at the “feelings” of the people outside the numbers. Consumer prices rose by 1.7% year-on-year, per capita disposable income of residents increased by 3% year-on-year in real terms, 6.54 million new jobs were created in urban areas across the country, and the unemployment rate in the national urban survey dropped to 5.5% in June. It is the sense of gain from relatively stable prices and the implementation of livelihood guarantees such as employment. In July, the resumption of inter-provincial travel in many parts of the country has accelerated; the number of civil aviation flights per day has continued to remain above 10,000; Shanghai has fully restored production and living order for more than a month, and electricity consumption hit a record high on July 8; Beijing has The order resumes offline sports events… Many people feel that “the familiar and lively scene is back.” You know, to promote economic and social development, in the final analysis, is to continuously meet the needs of the people for a better life.
Looking at China’s economic data, we also need to look at the overall global situation. Since the beginning of this year, the international environment has become more complex and severe, domestic epidemics have frequently spread, and the adverse impact has increased significantly. Recently, the World Bank, OECD and other international institutions have once again lowered their forecasts for global economic growth. In this context, a series of foreign media articles focused on the Chinese economy. Some foreign media said that “China and its markets have become a refuge from financial turmoil and great hope for the global economy”; The huge potential and kinetic energy of the economy have shown the resilience and potential to deal with the turbulent international situation.” “With the steady progress and implementation of various policies and measures, I believe that China’s economy will continue to recover and operate within a reasonable range”. We can see that China’s economy has shown strong resilience and vigorous vitality in the changing situation.
The discussion of the economic data in the first half of the year ultimately points to the same question: what about the second half of the year? We must not only face up to the difficulties and maintain a mentality to overcome the difficulties together, but also need to strengthen our confidence and show the energy of perseverance. It is expected that governments at all levels will be active and active, drive 160 million market players and more than 1.4 billion people to stabilize and work hard, seize the favorable opportunity for economic stabilization and recovery, better stimulate market vitality and social creativity, and truly do To “the epidemic must be prevented, the economy must be stabilized, and development must be safe”, and the economic transcripts of stable and healthy development must be handed over in the second half of the year!
