中国经济要闻

China#39;s GDP grew by 5.5 percent year-on-year in the first half of the year to 59.3 trillion yuan, posting a steady economic rebound, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Monday.

In the second quarter, the economy rose by 6.3 percent compared with a year earlier, up from 4.5 percent in the first quarter, the NBS said.

The 6.3-percent growth in the second quarter fell short of market projections, which comes on top a low base last year, when GDP growth stood at 0.4 percent due to the epidemic.

Fu Linghui, a spokesperson for the NBS, said China#39;s economy remains on a positive stable trend, noting a 5.5-percent growth in the first half is faster than the 3-percent growth in 2022 and the average annual growth rate of 4.5 percent over the three years under COVID-19. quot;The recovery trend of economic growth is relatively significant,quot; he said, noting China#39;s growth rate in the first half is still the fastest among all major economies.

Economists also pointed out that the 6.3-percent growth is hard-won and actually showed the resilience of the Chinese economy, as the growth was achievement without broad-based economic stimulus and as traditional growth boosters such as exports and real estate faced slowing pressures.

Monday’s figures also showed China#39;s value-added industrial output growth accelerated to 4.4 percent in June from a year earlier after a 3.5 percent rise in May. In the first half, industrial output grew by 3.8 percent year on year, compared to a 3-percent rise in the first quarter.

Retail sales slowed to 3.1 percent in June, down from the 12.7 percent growth in May. In the first six months, however, retail sales rose by 8.2 percent year on year to hit 22.8 trillion yuan, faster than the 5.8-percent growth in the first quarter, and final consumption expenditure contributed 77.2 percent to economic growth, significantly higher than last year.

During a press conference on Tuesday, the National Development and Reform Commission , China’s top economic planner, pledged to formulate policies to quot;restore and expandquot; consumption, noting that consumers#39; purchasing power and expectations remained weak.

In the next step, China will introduce policies as soon as possible to boost consumption, including measures to stabilize consumption on big ticket items, promote sales of cars and electronic devices and expand rural spendings, the NDRC said.

Meanwhile, in the January-June period, fixed-asset investment grew by 3.8 percent compared with a year earlier, in which property investment fell 7.9 percent, while that of high-tech industry jumped by 12.5 percent.

The surveyed urban jobless rate came in at 5.2 percent in June, flat with the previous month. The youth unemployment rate, however, rose to 21.3 percent in June, a five year high.

The NBS said the youth unemployment rate sees quot;seasonal fluctuations” as it goes up during graduation season with the influx of young graduates into the job market, which is expected to ease gradually from August with more young people landing jobs.

Despite the steady recovery, the NBS warned of pressures from a complicated international environment, saying the foundation for the economic rebound is not yet solid.

More efforts should be made to promote high-quality growth, fully deepen reforms and opening-up, accelerate the modernization of the industrial system, improve the economic structure and gather new growth momentum, the NBS said.

7月17日，中国交出了2023年上半年经济答卷，一系列主要指标显示出中国经济的强大韧性。

初步核算，上半年国内生产总值59.30万亿元，按不变价格计算，同比增长5.5%。分产业看，第一产业增加值3.04万亿元，同比增长3.7%；第二产业增加值23.07万亿元，同比增长4.3%；第三产业增加值33.19万亿元，同比增长6.4%。

分季度看，一季度增长4.5%，二季度增长6.3%。二季度经济增速回升背后很重要的原因在于去年同期基数低，去年一、二季度经济增速分别为4.8%、0.4%。

国家统计局新闻发言人、国民经济综合统计司司长付凌晖在国新办发布会上表示，今年以来，我国经济运行逐步向常态化运行轨道回归，一季度经济开局良好，二季度延续恢复态势。

上半年国内生产总值同比增长5.5%，5.5%的增速明显快于去年全年3%的经济增速，也快于疫情三年年均4.5%的增速，经济增长回升态势比较明显。5.5%的经济增长在全球范围内是较快的增速，上半年总体中国经济增速仍然在主要经济体当中是最快的。由于去年下半年基数走高，市场普遍预计今年下半年经济增速会有所回落，不过，全年仍有望实现5%左右的目标。

上半年社会消费品零售总额22.76万亿元，同比增长8.2%，比一季度加快2.4个百分点。付凌晖表示，上半年社会消费品零售总额同比增长8.2%，保持较快增长；最终消费支出对经济增长的贡献率达到77.2%，明显高于去年，消费对经济增长的拉动明显增强。

7月18日，国家发展改革委在新闻发布会上表示，当前消费恢复存在分化，比如接触型服务消费如餐饮旅游等恢复较快，但是房地产相关消费依然疲弱。国家发展改革委政策研究室主任金贤东回应21世纪经济报道记者提问表示，下一步，将抓紧制定出台恢复和扩大消费的政策，围绕稳定大宗消费、促进汽车消费和电子产品消费、拓展农村消费、优化消费环境等方面，出台一批务实管用的政策举措并推动尽快落地见效。

另外，上半年全国固定资产投资24.31万亿元，同比增长3.8%，比一季度回落1.3个百分点。二季度房地产的下行压力加大。上半年房地产投资同比下降7.9%，较一季度下行2.1个百分点。

二季度以来连续3个月我国城镇调查失业率维持在5.2%，就业形势整体稳定。不过，青年群体失业率仍在持续走高，6月份16-24岁劳动力调查失业率升至21.3%，年内以来在持续攀升。

付凌晖表示，从需求来看，过去三年受到疫情影响，居民和企业的收入都受到了一定影响，相应的市场需求的恢复需要一定时间。下一步，要千方百计增加城乡居民收入，继续落实好促消费政策，进一步释放消费潜力。今年以来，受到房地产市场调整的影响，固定资产投资增速有所放缓。投资是扩大内需的重要领域，下阶段要继续发挥政府投资和政策激励引导作用，有效带动激发民间投资，持续优化投资结构，提升投资效益。

China’s summer grain production dropped for the first time in five years in the first half due to adverse weather, though output remained at a high level and the harvest was plentiful. The grain harvest fell 0.9 percent to 146 million tons in the first six months from a year earlier, according to official data released on Monday. Wheat production also fell 0.9 percent to 135 million tons.

今年夏粮产量稳中略减:国家统计局7月17日发布的数据显示，2023年，我国夏粮产量14613万吨，虽与去年相比稳中略减，下降0.9%，但仍保持在较高水平，实现了丰收。其中，小麦总产量下降了0.9%，降至134.53百万吨。专家表示，夏粮单产下降主要是受河南等地严重“烂场雨”天气影响。
