By mid year, the trend of industrial economy has received much attention. How is the development of industrial economy facing pressure, challenges, and multiple uncertain factors? What measures will be taken next to stabilize industrial development? At the press conference of the State Council Information Office held on the 19th, relevant officials from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology responded.

Dealing with risks and challenges, industrial production steadily recovers

Since the beginning of this year, a number of stable economic policies have continued to show their effects, and various regions have intensively launched measures to support the development of the manufacturing industry. With policy support and the efforts of various sectors of the industry, the industrial economy has maintained a momentum of recovery and development. In the first half of the year, the added value of industries above designated size increased by 3.8% year-on-year, an increase of 0.8 percentage points compared to the first quarter. 5. The year-on-year growth rates in June were 3.5% and 4.4% respectively, showing a trend of monthly recovery.

Zhao Zhiguo, spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the decline in profits of industrial enterprises has narrowed for three consecutive months. Key industries are steadily recovering, playing a supporting role in stabilizing the industrial market. In May, the profit of the equipment manufacturing industry increased by 15.2% year-on-year, maintaining double-digit growth for two consecutive months. Industries such as automobile manufacturing, electrical machinery, and equipment manufacturing have maintained high profit growth.

It is worth mentioning that the upgrading of industrial exports injects vitality into the recovery of the industrial economy. In the first half of the year, the export of "new three samples" represented by new energy vehicles, lithium-ion batteries, and solar cells increased by 61.6% year-on-year.

"In the current development of the industrial economy, there are still difficulties such as insufficient demand and declining efficiency. However, from a trend perspective, the fundamental principles of sustainable industrial development in China have not changed." Zhao Zhiguo believes that stabilizing industry should pay more attention to expanding effective demand, focusing on key industries, and enhancing endogenous momentum.

He stated that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will place more emphasis on stabilizing growth, accelerate the implementation of policies to promote consumption of automobiles and home furnishings, and accelerate the formulation and implementation of work plans for stabilizing growth in ten key industries such as automobiles, electronics, and steel. In terms of expanding effective demand, we will deepen the "three products" action for consumer goods and raw materials, organize new energy vehicles, smart home appliances, and green building materials to go to rural areas, and jointly implement special loans with the National Development Bank to increase investment in the manufacturing industry.

Empowering small and medium-sized enterprises through quality leadership

Accelerate the assistance to enterprises and alleviate difficulties, injecting endogenous momentum into the stable operation of industry.

Since the beginning of this year, a series of policies to assist enterprises have been introduced from the central to local levels. Small and medium-sized enterprises have overcome difficulties and made efforts to move forward. The overall production and operation of small and medium-sized enterprises has maintained a recovery trend. Among them, "Little Giant" and specialized and innovative enterprises have higher revenue and profit growth than industrial enterprises above designated size, demonstrating strong resilience.

The foundation for the stabilization and recovery of small and medium-sized enterprises is not yet solid. We need to further increase support and effectively solve the difficulties faced by enterprises. Tao Qing, Director of the Operation Monitoring and Coordination Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at a press conference that nine departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have jointly issued the "Special Action on Quality Standard Brand Value for Small and Medium sized Enterprises", focusing on the development needs of small and medium-sized enterprises and taking targeted measures to assist them.

Tao Qing stated that he will adhere to the demand orientation of small and medium-sized enterprises, and continuously promote the enhancement of enterprise competitiveness and development through quality improvement, standard guidance, and brand building. Provide professional training for small and medium-sized enterprises to guide them in preventing and controlling quality risks; Support specialized, refined, and innovative "little giant" enterprises to leverage their unique advantages and actively participate in international standardization work; Guide small and medium-sized enterprises to enhance their brand awareness, promote the implementation of brand standards, and enhance their brand building capabilities.

Accelerate digital upgrading, promote quality and efficiency improvement

At the press conference, a set of data attracted attention: as of now, nearly 8000 digital workshops and intelligent factories have been built in various regions, of which more than 2500 have reached the level of maturity of intelligent manufacturing capabilities at level 2 or above, and have basically completed digital transformation.

Faced with pressure and challenges from costs and markets, industrial enterprises are improving efficiency, reducing costs, and expanding development space through digital upgrades.

"Since the beginning of this year, the demand for transformation and upgrading of manufacturing enterprises has been continuously released, and the intelligent transformation of China's manufacturing industry has maintained a good trend." Tao Qing introduced that new scenarios, new plans, and new models of intelligent manufacturing continue to emerge, promoting industry quality and efficiency improvement, energy conservation and consumption reduction.

Green transformation also accumulates new momentum for industrial development. Tao Qing said that technologies such as dry quenching and sintering waste heat power generation are gradually becoming popular in the steel industry, and the application level of large-scale equipment such as tens of millions of tons of refining and millions of tons of ethylene in the petrochemical industry continues to improve. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has provided energy-saving supervision and diagnostic services to over 50000 enterprises, improving energy and resource utilization efficiency and enhancing resource recycling capabilities.

Tao Qing said that China has built 45 national advanced manufacturing clusters in the fields of new generation information technology, high-end equipment, new materials, new energy, etc., with a total output value of 20 trillion yuan in leading industries.

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that intelligent manufacturing will be the main focus, and efforts will be made to coordinate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and the cultivation and growth of strategic emerging industries. Guiding opinions will be issued to accelerate the green development of the manufacturing industry, continuously enhancing new momentum for the development of the real economy.

"We will further expand the high-level opening up of the manufacturing and information and communication industries, and promote the construction of a mutually beneficial international industrial cooperation system," said Zhao Zhiguo.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
