  Zhu Hong, senior statistician of the Industrial Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, explained that the performance of industrial enterprises in the first quarter mainly showed the following characteristics:

  First, the profits of industrial enterprises achieved steady growth.

In the first quarter, the profits of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 8.5% year-on-year, maintaining a steady growth trend.

From the perspective of the three categories, the profits of the mining industry increased by 1.48 times, the manufacturing industry decreased by 2.1%, and the production and supply of electricity, heat, gas and water decreased by 30.3%.

  Second, the mining industry strongly drives the profit growth of industrial enterprises.

The measures to ensure energy supply have been effectively advanced, the production of coal and other energy products has grown rapidly, and factors such as international geopolitical conflicts have led to a sharp rise in commodity prices, which together have led to a rapid increase in the profits of related industries.

In the first quarter, the profit of the mining industry increased by 1.48 times year-on-year, continuing the high growth trend since last year, and the growth rate was 15.8 percentage points higher than that in January-February.

Among them, the PPI of the coal mining and selection industry and the oil and natural gas mining industry increased by 53.9% and 47.4% year-on-year respectively in March, driving the industry profits in the first quarter to increase by 1.89 times and 1.51 times respectively. The two industries together drove the profits of industrial enterprises above designated size in the first quarter. An increase of 12.1 percentage points.

  Third, the high-tech manufacturing industry promotes the profit growth of industrial enterprises.

Among them, the profits of the electronics and communication equipment manufacturing industry changed from a decline in January to February to an increase of 11.1%; the profits of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry fell by 8.9% year-on-year due to a high base, but the decline narrowed by 8.7 percentage points compared with the first two months. Profit increased by 12.0% year-on-year.

The two industries together boosted the growth rate of profits of industrial enterprises above designated size in the first quarter and March by 1.6 and 4.2 percentage points respectively compared with the first two months.

  Fourth, the profits of some equipment and consumer goods manufacturing industries have improved.

In the first quarter, some equipment manufacturing industries were driven by factors such as the release of production capacity in new energy vehicle-related industries and the increase in demand for medical equipment, and their profit growth accelerated.

The profit of the electrical machinery industry increased by 10.4%, and the growth rate was 4.7 percentage points higher than that of the first two months; the profit of the special equipment industry increased by 4.8%, and the growth rate was 0.8 percentage points higher.

Profit growth in some consumer goods industries improved.

As the tax cuts and fee reductions and the bailout policies for enterprises continued to exert their effect, the expenses per 100 yuan of operating income of industrial enterprises above designated size in the first quarter decreased by 0.54 yuan year-on-year, and 0.18 yuan less than that from January to February.

However, it should also be noted that the increasing pressure of external imported inflation and the spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic have brought many challenges to the stable development of the industrial economy and increased difficulties in production and operation of enterprises.

In the first quarter, the profit growth rate of industrial enterprises above designated size dropped by 3.8 percentage points compared with the fourth quarter of the previous year, and the profits of different industries and different types of enterprises were significantly differentiated; the growth of operating income of industrial enterprises slowed down, the level of industrial production and sales connection declined, and corporate inventories were running at a high level. , the cost pressure of SMEs is still relatively large.

  Zhu Hong said that in the next stage, it is necessary to thoroughly implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, adhere to the principle of stability, coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, implement various policies and measures to support the stable development of the real economy, and continue to ensure supply.
