Xi'an, the largest city in the northwest region of the mainland, its status is in the same position as Nanjing in East China, Shenyang in Northeast China, Wuhan in Central China, Guangzhou in South China, Chengdu in Southwest China, etc., are the central cities of each region, and are also one of the three-digit cities with telephone area codes. Therefore, even in many cases, when Xi'an's economy cannot keep up with the pace, its comprehensive strength is also the reason for the top 20 in the country. In the past five years, Xi'an's economy has actually developed by leaps and bounds, with a total GDP of 321.639 billion yuan in 5 years from 747.189 billion yuan in 2017 to 1,068.828 billion yuan in 2021. In addition to the growth rate of 7% in 2020 and 2021 due to the epidemic, the growth rate in the other three years is above 10%.
It is also because the nominal growth rate of 6.67% in 2021 last year directly made Xi'an miss an excellent development opportunity. In the past 2021, the national epidemic in mainland China has long been stable, and there will only be small outbreaks occasionally, but Xi'an has stopped work and production for a long time because of the epidemic, and the total GDP of 1,068.828 billion yuan has also made it rank at the bottom among trillion cities, ranking 24th in the country.
How will its current 11 municipal districts and 2 counties perform in 2021? According to the total GDP, it is yanta district (272.52 billion yuan), Weiyang district (143.723 billion yuan), Chang'an district (126.945 billion yuan), Beilin district (109.886 billion yuan), Lianhu district (83.108 billion yuan), Xincheng District (63.996 billion yuan), Baqiao district (60.685 billion yuan), Gaoling District (38.472 billion yuan), Enyi District (26.605 billion yuan), Yanliang District (26.484 billion yuan), Lintong District (26.011 billion yuan), Lantian County (15.17 billion yuan), Zhouzhi County (14.639 billion yuan).
The total GDP of xi'an is in 4 districts, namely Yanta District, Weiyang District, Chang'an District and Beilin District. The total GDP of these four regions has reached 653.074 billion yuan, accounting for 61.1% of Xi'an. In this way, the development between the various regions of Xi'an is not balanced, except for these 4 districts, the other 9 districts and counties account for only 38.9%. Among these 4 districts, Yanta District is once again a horse, achieving a total GDP of 272.52 billion yuan in 2021, and the nominal GDP growth rate is as high as 8.54%.
This volume is still 1.87 percentage points higher than xi'an in terms of growth rate, which shows the economic vitality of Yanta District. In terms of the support of Xi'an and even Shaanxi Province for Yanta District, it is fully expected to break through the 300 billion yuan mark this year and will continue to win the first district in the west. Although the GDP of Weiyang District, Chang'an District and Beilin District is more than 100 billion, there is still a big gap compared with Yanta District, and the highest Weiyang District is only 143.723 billion yuan.
The three districts of Lianhu, Xincheng and Baqiao are all above 60 billion yuan, which belongs to the 5th-7th. Among them, Lianhu District leads with 83.108 billion yuan, which will stabilize the city's fifth place in the foreseeable future. However, from the perspective of growth rate, Lianhu District is generally sluggish, with only 1.98% nominal growth rate, compared with the total GDP growth of only 1.613 billion yuan in 2020, which has a great impact on the epidemic.
From the end of the 8th to 13th, the total GDP of these six districts and counties has not reached 40 billion yuan, except for Gaoling District of 38.472 billion yuan, all other districts and counties are below 30 billion yuan. Among them, the performance of Enyi District is the most outstanding, with its nominal GDP growth rate of up to 13.89% in 2021, ranking first in the city, and the epidemic has almost no impact on it, successfully catching up with Yanliang District and Lintong District.
