  National express delivery investment volume exceeds 1 billion

  Beijing, May 6 (Reporter Li Xinping): The National Post Bureau ’s postal industry security supervision information system data shows that the postal industry continued to maintain a high growth during the “May Day” holiday. From 1 to 5 May, the national postal industry collected 1.102 billion pieces of express parcels, an increase of 41.8% year-on-year; delivery of 1.038 billion pieces of express parcels, an increase of 38.93% year-on-year.

  The express parcel business volume recovered rapidly from the low-level operation in January, and the growth rate in February turned to positive growth, which is currently stable at a high-speed growth range of more than 30%. The relevant person in charge of the State Post Bureau said that the "Double Product Online Shopping Festival" jointly created by the Ministry of Commerce and Post has promoted the recent recovery of business volume. The online sales of commodities such as food, daily necessities and 3C products have been hot, which has effectively driven small and medium enterprises to resume production. At the same time, the online sales of agricultural products maintained rapid growth. Products from Hubei Qianjiang Crayfish, Guangxi Wumingwo Orange, Hainan Mango and other regions were sold to the whole country through postal express channels, forming a virtuous circle of supply and demand.

  Beijing, May 6 (Reporter Wu Qiuyu) China UnionPay released data on May 1 holiday transactions: From May 1 to May 5, the total amount of UnionPay online transactions exceeded 1.57 trillion yuan, with an average daily average of about 0.31 trillion yuan Yuan, compared with the daily Saturday and Sunday in April, increased by 16%. The total number of UnionPay network transactions increased by 6.95% compared with April.

  According to reports, "May Day" holiday consumption momentum has increased, and some industries have gradually recovered. The consumption performance of supermarkets, department store shopping and accommodation, catering, fueling and other industries remained the same as the same period, even more than in previous years; the consumption level of aviation, railway and public transportation in the city is also recovering. The introduction of more consumer vouchers has reduced consumer spending to a certain extent, so the increase in the number of transactions is higher than the increase in the amount.

  In terms of regions, Hainan, Tibet, Qinghai, Guangxi and other places are the regions where the number of spending on the "May Day" holiday increased rapidly. Xinjiang, Hainan, Tibet, Qinghai and other places have witnessed a significant increase in the number of tourists from other places. They are relatively popular tourist destinations.
