中国经济要闻

China's industrial activities are continuing a recovery trend following recent COVID-19 outbreaks, led by production in high-tech industries.

The country's industrial output jumped 3.4 percent annually in the first half of 2022, data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) showed on Tuesday. During the January-June period, high-tech manufacturing saw a 9.6-percent increase from the first six months last year, significantly higher than other industries.

Among the 41 major industrial sectors, 33 industries have achieved positive growth in the first half of the year, nine of which have achieved double-digit growth rates.

In June alone, China's industrial output jumped 3.9 percent from last year, led by strong new energy vehicle (NEV) production, according to the NBS.

Output growth was 3.2 percentage points higher than in May, adding to signs that the country's economy is further recovering from recent COVID-19 outbreaks.

Breaking it down by sectors, NEV production increased the most with a 120.8-percent rise as the world's largest auto market continued to recover with measures to boost NEV consumption.

China's economy expanded 2.5 percent yearly in the first half of 2022. In the second quarter alone, the country's gross domestic product only grew 0.4 percent from the same period last year. In April, factory output declined 2.9 percent compared to the same month in 2021, as a new wave of the coronavirus spread across China slowed down business activities and production.

But with recent supportive policies and getting COVID-19 outbreaks under control, the economy is expected to pick up momentum to stabilise and rebound in the second half.

上半年，我国工业经济实现企稳回升，呈现出恢复增长的态势，充分发挥了经济“压舱石”的作用。

工业和信息化部（MIIT）数据7月19日显示，今年1-6月份，规模以上工业增加值同比增长3.4%。其中，高技术制造业增加值同比增长9.6%，增速明显高于整体工业。

41个工业大类行业中，上半年有33个行业增加值实现正增长，其中9个行业实现了两位数的增长率。其中，煤炭开采和洗选业增长11.2%，石油和天然气开采业增长3.6%。

根据国家统计局的数据，我国规模以上工业增加值在4月份下滑至-2.9%后，5月份转负为正增长0.7%，6月份加快回升至3.9%，走出了一个V型态势。其中，新能源汽车生产强劲。上半年新能源车产销量双双突破260万辆，同比均增长1.2倍。为了加大消费的引导作用，6月起，有关部门也不断推出新能源汽车下乡、减半征收部分车购税、全面取消二手车限迁等一系列扩大汽车消费举措。

2022年上半年国内生产总值同比增长2.5%，二季度开端受国内疫情反复影响，经济受冲击较大，但随着疫情好转，经济基本面逐渐得到修复，第二季度国内生产总值同比增长0.4%。

展望下半年，疫情仍是国内经济发展最大的不确定因素，中国经济在第二季度仍然面临下行压力，但随着疫情得到控制，工业经济的快速转好也为稳定下半年经济大盘提供了坚实基础。
