Chinanews client, Beijing, October 28 (Reporter Li Jinlei) Since 2021, under the impact of the epidemic and flood, China's economy has continued to move forward.

Energy prices have skyrocketed, many places have curtailed electricity and production; the property market has cooled down, and many transactions have been cut in half... Under the big changes, what changes have been made in China's economic landscape in the first three quarters?

The GDP of 30 provinces in the first three quarters of 2021.

"Su Daqiang" chased "Cantonese boss" wildly

  As of October 27, apart from Tibet, the remaining 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have disclosed the third quarterly economic report.

  From the perspective of total GDP, the pattern of the top three in Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Shandong has not changed.

Guangdong and Jiangsu's GDP in the first three quarters both exceeded the 8 trillion yuan mark, showing a situation where the two heroes are contending for hegemony.

  Among them, Guangdong's GDP in the first three quarters was 8800.986 billion yuan, which is still firmly established as the “biggest Guangdong”.

The unwilling Jiangsu is striving to attack the

first place. The gap between "Su Daqiang" and "Cantonese boss" who ran faster in the first three quarters has narrowed a lot.

  Jiangsu's GDP in the first three quarters increased by 10.2% year-on-year, and the two-year average growth rate was 6.3%, which was higher than Guangdong's 9.7% and 5.1%.

In the same period last year, the gap between Jiangsu's GDP and Guangdong's GDP was 458.83 billion yuan, but now it is only 311.416 billion yuan, a reduction of more than 140 billion yuan.

Henan's growth rate drops under the impact of heavy rain

  Since the third quarter, Henan has been very difficult. Historically rare floods hit the Central Plains, and at the same time, the impact of the epidemic was superimposed, people's travel was restricted, and economic activities were reduced. Henan's economy has encountered unprecedented severe challenges and tests.

  Fortunately, Henan's economy finally survived, with GDP reaching 4401.624 billion yuan in the first three quarters, still maintaining its fifth place.

  But the economic growth rate will inevitably be affected.

Henan's GDP in the first three quarters increased by 7.1% year-on-year, a decrease of 3.1 percentage points from the first half of the year. Among the top ten GDP, Henan's economic growth rate in the first three quarters was the lowest.

  However, Henan's two-year average growth rate has maintained growth.

In the words of the Henan Bureau of Statistics: "It shows that the province's economic recovery process has basically withstood the severe test of unfavorable factors such as catastrophic floods and clusters of epidemics."
