China News Service, Fuzhou, January 27 (Reporter Long Min) With the release of the 2022 annual GDP data of 31 provinces one after another, Fujian, which ranks eighth in the country in total, is tied with neighboring Jiangxi in the country with a growth rate of 4.7%. first place.

  Fujian's economy has continued to outperform the "acceleration" of high-quality development.

In the past five years, Fujian's GDP has surpassed two trillion yuan (RMB, the same below), with an average annual growth rate of 6.4%, ranking first in the eastern region.

  Official statistics show that in the past 45 years of reform and opening up, Fujian's economic aggregate has jumped from more than 6 billion yuan to 5.3 trillion yuan in 2022, an increase of more than 800 times, ranking among the top in the country.

  In 2022, Fujian has been hit by three rounds of local COVID-19 epidemics, and it is even more difficult for the GDP growth rate to remain unabated.

Ding Changfa, associate professor of the Department of Economics at Xiamen University, analyzed that Fujian's economy was less affected by the epidemic last year, coupled with the outstanding development of the digital economy and new energy industries. For example, the Ningde era has driven the rapid development of Fujian's new energy industry.

  In the 2023 Fujian Provincial Government Work Report, Fujian Provincial Governor Zhao Long used "comprehensive and top-level" to explain the strength and scope of Fujian's overall planning of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development last year.

The report pointed out that Fujian has comprehensively implemented the national policy of stabilizing the economy, promulgated and implemented 48 package policies and 21 follow-up policies.

  Statistics show that in 2022, Fujian will reduce taxes and fees by 114.6 billion yuan, add 40 billion yuan in special loans for relief, and set up special relief financing support for small, medium and micro enterprises in the manufacturing industry and the textile, footwear and clothing industry with a quota of 5 billion yuan each, benefiting 18,300 enterprises.

  In Changle District, Fuzhou City, a major city in the textile industry, Donglong Knitting and Textile Co., Ltd. received a 30 million yuan support for the textile shoe and apparel industry relief loan, which can directly reduce the company's financial burden by 600,000 yuan.

Ai Guodi, the relevant person in charge of the company, said that with financial support, the research and development of high-end functional casual wear fabrics and functional sports fabrics can be accelerated.

Significant investment results

  Playing the key role of investment is an important support for stabilizing the economic market.

Last year, Shanghang Tianfu's annual output of 360,000 tons of semiconductor-grade electronic materials production projects, Zhongjing Petrochemical's polypropylene thermoplastic elastomer project, Changle Waihai offshore wind farm C area project, and Fujian-Guangdong interconnection project were put into operation one after another. A number of influential key projects The project has become a strong stamina for the steady growth of Fujian's economy.

  Dai Yongwu, a professor at the School of Economics and Management of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, believes that key projects that have been completed and put into operation one after another can not only effectively meet market demand, but also help related industries to develop steadily and long-term.

  To expand effective investment, the key is to solve "where does the money come from".

In 2022, Fujian will make good use of policy-based development financial instruments and issue local government special bonds of 183.1 billion yuan.

  Foreign-funded enterprises also cast a "vote of confidence" in Fujian's development.

In the first 11 months of last year, the actual use of foreign capital in Fujian Province was 4.86 billion US dollars, an increase of 8.4% year-on-year, of which the actual use of foreign capital in high-tech industries increased by 30.5%, and the actual use of foreign capital in manufacturing increased by 63.1%.

The Zhongsha Gulei Ethylene Project with a total investment of 42.07 billion yuan was launched, making it the largest Sino-foreign joint venture project in Fujian Province so far.

The "four major economies" have strong momentum

  The four major economies of digital economy, marine economy, green economy, and cultural tourism economy continue to grow, which is the advantage of Fujian's high-quality economic development and an important driving force for accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system.

  The digital economy has become an important engine leading Fujian's economic development, and continues to empower the high-quality development of Fujian's economy.

In 2022, Jomoo Group, an independent brand of China's sanitary ware, will achieve a rapid growth in sales of more than 20% year-on-year.

Lin Xiaofa, the person in charge of the company, told a reporter from Chinanews.com a few days ago that the company has made a whole series of digital intelligence innovations from product innovation to production innovation.

  Take the Jomoo 5G lighthouse factory, which was completed and put into production last year, as an example. This is the largest and most technologically advanced smart sanitary ware manufacturing factory in the world today, capable of producing 4.5 million sets of smart toilets per year.

  At present, Jomoo Group is aiming at the new track of new technology household robots.

Lin Xiaofa said that we must adhere to the deep integration of digital and real economies, promote the high-end, intelligent, and green development of the manufacturing industry, actively build an innovative research and development system for household robots, and use new technologies and absolute leading technologies to drive industrial digitization and digital industrialization. .

  Statistics show that the added value of the digital economy has reached 2.6 trillion yuan in 2022, and multiple indicators such as the development index and the new infrastructure competitiveness index rank among the top in the country.

  Fujian is connected to the Yangtze River Delta in the north, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao in the south, facing Taiwan, and backed by the vast hinterland of the central and western regions. It has outstanding advantages such as "mountain, sea, Asian overseas Chinese special platform" and "multi-region superposition". In recent years, it has cultivated 21 industries with an output value exceeding 100 billion yuan. Clusters usher in greater development space in the deep integration into the new development pattern.

The main body is full of vitality

  The latest statistics show that in 2022, Fuzhou's GDP is expected to grow by more than 5.2%, and Quanzhou's GDP is expected to grow by about 4%.

The above data show that since both of them crossed the trillion yuan GDP threshold in 2020, Fuzhou and Quanzhou once again joined the "trillion yuan GDP city club".

At the same time, Fuzhou slightly surpassed Quanzhou again, and its economic aggregate ranked first in the province for two consecutive years.

  The total economic volume of the two trillion-yuan cities accounts for "half of the country" in Fujian, and the high growth rates of Fuzhou and Quanzhou have also created good conditions for the continued growth of Fujian's economy.

  After the city's GDP broke through the 300 billion yuan mark for the first time in 2021, Ningde City, located in the northeastern coastal area of ​​Fujian Province, will reach a new high in 2022, estimated to reach 358 billion yuan, and "historically among the top 100 cities in China".

  Zhang Yongning, mayor of Ningde City, disclosed in his 2023 government work report that in 2022, Ningde's economic operation has maintained a stable and good development trend, and has maintained a leading momentum in the province. It is estimated that the city's GDP will be 358 billion yuan, an increase of 10.5%. Among the 12 major economic indicators, the growth rate of 7 items ranks first in the province.

  It is the continuous growth of its industry that supports Ningde's economic development into the "fast lane".

The city has formed four leading industrial clusters with international competitiveness, including lithium battery new energy, new energy vehicles, stainless steel new materials, and copper materials. The industry has grown into an industrial cluster with an annual output value of over 100 billion yuan.

  Dai Yongwu believes that through the optimization of the urban economic and industrial structure, the intensive production and operation, and the improvement of economic quality, the "chasing after each other" in the economic aggregate of major cities will enhance the vitality and motivation of Fujian's economic development and help drive high-quality development of the province. .

  The active private economy is a prominent feature of Fujian's economy.

At present, the added value of Fujian's private economy accounts for 68.1% of GDP, contributes more than 70% of tax revenue, absorbs more than 80% of employment, and the number of private enterprises above designated size accounts for more than 90% of the province's total.

  Focusing on a pair of shoes, a piece of clothing, a piece of paper, a piece of sugar, and an umbrella, private enterprises in Quanzhou have created 20% of the world's sports shoes production, 60% of the country's stone import and export volume, and 65% of the country's craft ceramics export volume. 20% of the country's candy production and 10% of the country's textile and clothing production have helped Quanzhou gain the world's jacket capital, world stone carving capital, world ceramic capital, world rattan and iron craft capital, Chinese shoe capital, Chinese umbrella capital, China There are dozens of world-class and national brands such as the famous clothing city and the hometown of Chinese building materials.
