China News Service, September 15 (Li Jinlei) Regarding why there is no issue of retaliatory consumption, Fu Linghui, spokesperson for the National Bureau of Statistics, said at a press conference on the 15th that the overall recovery of consumption is proceeding stably. In particular, the decline in catering consumption income has significantly narrowed, indicating that under the conditions of effective control of the epidemic, everyone's consumption desire has increased significantly.
At present, overseas travel has stagnated, but it has also brought about an increase in domestic mid-to-high-end tourism, and some popular attractions have become difficult to obtain a ticket.
As the employment of residents remains stable, income increases, and the domestic consumption environment improves, especially the effective control of the epidemic, there is hope that consumption will continue to recover in the later period.
Data show that the total retail sales of consumer goods in August was 3,357.1 billion yuan, an increase of 0.5% year-on-year, marking the first positive growth this year.
