CCTV News: Data released by the National Bureau of Statistics today (27th) shows that affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, in the first two months of this year, the profits of industrial enterprises above designated size in China fell overall. During the epidemic period, the profits of some continuous production industries and the people's livelihood security industry maintained growth. . At present, as the progress of resuming production and production is accelerating day by day, the efficiency of industrial enterprises will be effectively improved.
Data show that from January to February, the total profits of industrial enterprises above designated size reached 410.07 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 38.3%. Among the 41 industrial sectors, the total profit of 4 industries increased year-on-year, and 37 industries decreased.
It is understood that the resumption of production and production in February was affected by various factors, and the production level had not yet returned to normal, leading to a significant decline in production and sales. Some rigid expenditures such as labor and depreciation and increased cost of epidemic prevention have also squeezed the profit margins of enterprises.
At the same time, it should be noted that although the profits of industrial enterprises above designated size have generally declined, the profits of some continuous production industries and the people's livelihood security industry have continued to increase. From January to February, the profits of nonferrous metals, oil and gas extraction, and agricultural and sideline food processing industries increased by 28.3%, 23.7%, and 2.2% year-on-year respectively. The year-on-year decline in the profit of the pharmaceutical industry is also significantly smaller than that of all industries above the designated size.
A person in charge of the National Bureau of Statistics stated that the current domestic epidemic situation has been effectively controlled, the process of industrial resumption and production is accelerating, and the economic and social order is being restored in an orderly manner. The short-term impact caused by the epidemic situation will gradually ease, and the efficiency of industrial enterprises will be improved.
