  Hubei and Hainan's GDP growth target is more than 10%

  Among the 29 provinces, Hubei and Hainan set the highest GDP growth target, at over 10%, reaching double digits.

  Hubei's GDP growth rate in 2020 is still negative.

After withstanding the huge impact of the 76-day suspension, Hubei's GDP fell by 39.2%, 19.3%, and 10.4% in the first quarter, first half of 2020, and the first three quarters of 2020, and the annual decline narrowed to 5.0%.

  Xu Hongcai, deputy director of the Economic Policy Committee of the Chinese Academy of Policy Research, told a reporter from Chinanews that Hubei was the most affected by the epidemic last year and its GDP base was relatively low. There will be a rebound this year. The expected target of 10% is reasonable.

Hainan has vigorously promoted the construction of a free trade port, with obvious advantages in policy resources, and its own economic aggregate is relatively small. It is also necessary to set a higher growth target for the construction of a free trade port.

  In his government work report, the Governor of Hubei Province Wang Xiaodong pointed out that a 10% increase is the bottom line requirement. In actual work, the state and style of "fighting", "grabbing" and "real" should be shown and based on the premise and foundation of "stability" Strive to "make progress" and do your best to achieve better results.

  "Last year, our province’s economy was severely hit. This year, we must make every effort to return to normal. We must not only make up for the loss, but also strive to recover the due growth to ensure a beautiful start and a wonderful year. Comprehensive analysis of the economic fundamentals of our province Considering the low base factor and potential growth rate last year, setting the economic growth target for this year at more than 10% is proactive and strongly supported.” Wang Xiaodong said.

  Hainan's GDP in 2020 is 553.239 billion yuan, ranking 28th in the country in total, an increase of 3.5%.

According to the Hainan Government Work Report for 2021, Hainan will focus on the early arrangements for the free trade port in 2021, making good use of the duty-free shopping "mail delivery" for outlying islands, "offshore island storage, return-to-island pickup" and tax-free purchases of imported goods, etc. Policy, strive to exceed 60 billion yuan in tax-free sales.

  The GDP growth rate of the top three provinces is still high this year

  In 2020, the top three GDP growth rates are Tibet, Guizhou and Yunnan. Among them, Tibet leads the country with a growth rate of 7.8%, Guizhou’s GDP growth rate in 2020 will reach 4.5%, and Yunnan’s GDP growth rate in 2020 will be 4%.

  Tibet’s 2021 GDP growth target is 9% or more, Guizhou’s 2021 GDP growth target is about 8%, and Yunnan’s 2021 GDP growth target is 8% or more.

  With the confidence that the economy will grow against the trend in 2020, the GDP growth targets of these three provinces in 2021 are still relatively high.

  What signal does the local GDP growth target release?

  The latest "World Economic Outlook Report" recently released by the International Monetary Fund predicts that the global economy will grow by 5.5% in 2021 and the Chinese economy will grow by 8.1%.

  Currently, more than 20 provinces in China have set an economic growth target of less than 8% for 2021, which is slightly cautious and conservative compared with the forecasts of international institutions.

  In Xu Hongcai's view, the target of more than 6% is relatively stable, which is conducive to the continuity and stability of the expected target. It is also a reflection of the bottom-line thinking and leeway of the local government. After all, there are many uncertainties in the epidemic situation and the external environment. .

At the same time, it also shows that we are not overly pursuing GDP growth, but focusing on the improvement of quality and efficiency.
