CCTV News : The National Bureau of Statistics yesterday (14th) announced the operation of China's national economy in July. In July, my country's economy overcame the adverse effects of the epidemic and flood conditions and continued to maintain a steady recovery. The steady recovery of the economy and the continued development of a positive trend became the main features of the economic operation in July.
From the perspective of production, the added value of industries above designated size in July increased by 4.8% year-on-year, and the growth rate was the same as that of the previous month. 60% of products and industries achieved growth. Among them, the automobile and electronic pillar industries grew significantly faster. The service industry production index increased by 3.5% year-on-year in July, 1.2 percentage points faster than the previous month. Under the impact of the epidemic, new development momentum continued to increase, and online sales, Internet education, and medical services developed rapidly.
The growth rate of retail sales of commodities turned from negative to positive for the first time this year
Demand has also gradually improved. The decline in total retail sales of consumer goods in July narrowed by 0.7 percentage points compared with the previous month, and retail sales of goods increased by 0.2% year-on-year, turning from negative to positive for the first time this year. In terms of investment, the decline in fixed asset investment continued to narrow, and investment in high-tech industries and social fields increased rapidly.
The employment situation is generally stable and pressure still exists
To do a good job in "six stability" and implement the task of "six guarantees", employment is in the first place. Fu Linghui introduced that the employment situation in my country is generally stable. In July, the nationwide surveyed unemployment rate in urban areas was 5.7%, which was the same as last month. Among them, the urban surveyed unemployment rate of the main employment group dropped from last month. However, due to the concentration of university graduates entering the labor market and the production and operation difficulties of some small and micro enterprises, employment pressure still exists in my country.
Conditions and foundations for maintaining stable grain production throughout the year
Ensure food and energy security and maintain the lifeline of national development. Fu Linghui said that this year's summer grain output hit a record high, an increase of 0.9% over last year, laying a good foundation for the increase in grain production throughout the year, and the situation of early rice is generally controllable. From the perspective of overall grain production, autumn grain accounts for more than 70% of the annual grain output, while 60% of the autumn grain is in the northern region and is relatively less affected by floods.
