CCTV News: "Since the beginning of this year, China's industrial economy has generally maintained a recovery and positive development trend." On July 19, the State Council Information Office held a press conference on the development of industry and information technology in the first half of 2023. Zhao Zhiguo, spokesperson and chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said in response to questions from CCTV reporters at the headquarters that the next step is to prioritize stable growth, strive to expand effective demand, and develop and strengthen emerging industries.
Zhao Zhiguo believes that since the beginning of this year, China's industrial economy has generally maintained a recovery and positive development trend. In the first half of the year, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 3.8% year-on-year, with growth rates accelerating by 0.4 and 0.8 percentage points respectively compared to the first half of last year and the first quarter of this year. As the backbone of the manufacturing industry, the equipment manufacturing industry has maintained a good development momentum, while industries such as automotive manufacturing, electrical machinery, and equipment manufacturing have maintained high profit growth. Next, we will focus on the following tasks.
One is to place stable growth in a more prominent position. Accelerate the implementation of policies to promote consumption of automobiles and home furnishings, and accelerate the formulation and implementation of work plans to stabilize growth in ten key industries such as automobiles, electronics, and steel. Strengthen planning and policy guidance, deepen strategic cooperation between departments and provinces, and actively support industrial provinces in taking on major responsibilities. Focus on key enterprises such as chain owners and specialized, refined, and innovative enterprises, establish and improve a regular communication and exchange mechanism, as well as a closed-loop mechanism for solving problem demands, to promote greater vitality in business entities.
The second is to strive to expand effective demand. We will deepen the "Three Goods" campaign for consumer goods and raw materials, organize new energy vehicles, smart home appliances, and green building materials to go to rural areas, promote innovative development in industries such as medical equipment, general aviation, and cruise ships and yachts, and lead the creation of demand with high-quality supply. Strengthen the overall planning and scheduling of the 14th Five Year Plan for industrial and information technology fields, jointly implement special loans with the National Development Bank, and increase investment in the manufacturing industry. Guide the expansion of markets in key countries and countries and regions along the "the Belt and Road", and consolidate the export of industrial products.
The third is to develop and strengthen emerging industries. Carry out a special action for the development of advanced manufacturing clusters and accelerate the progress towards world-class advanced manufacturing clusters. Accelerate the development of emerging industries such as 5G, intelligent connected vehicles, new energy, new materials, biopharmaceuticals, and high-end medical equipment, and further enhance the development momentum of high-speed rail, power equipment, new energy vehicles, photovoltaics, communication equipment, and other fields.
