Recently, the 2021 GDP data of 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have been released, and the 2022 economic growth targets have been successively released.
Looking at the total amount, many provinces have achieved leapfrog breakthroughs in the past year, and more provinces have maintained steady economic growth step by step.
Looking at the growth rate, in 2021, all provinces have generally achieved recovery growth, especially the economic growth rate of Hubei Province and Hainan Province.
Looking at the city, the total GDP of Beijing and Shanghai both exceeded 4 trillion yuan, while Dongguan became the 24th city in the country with a total GDP of more than one trillion yuan, and also the fourth member of the "trillion club" in Guangdong.
The total GDP of many places has reached a new level
Guangdong's GDP exceeded 12 trillion yuan, and Hubei's economic growth rate ranked first in the country
In 2021, the total GDP of many provinces will reach a new level.
Guangdong is a veritable GDP province. In 2021, the total GDP of Guangdong Province will reach 12.44 trillion yuan, becoming the first and only province in the country to leapfrog its GDP to the 12 trillion yuan step, ranking first in the country for 33 consecutive years. Jiangsu Province will achieve a total GDP of 11.64 trillion yuan in 2021; Shandong Province will achieve 8.31 trillion yuan; Zhejiang Province will achieve a total GDP of 7.35 trillion yuan; and Henan Province will achieve a total GDP of 5.89 trillion yuan. If you use the average exchange rate last year, the GDP of Guangdong and Jiangsu provinces has exceeded the total economic output of South Korea.
The total amount has reached a new level, and the economic growth rate has also maintained a restorative high growth.
In 2021, Hubei Province ranked first in the country with a double-digit growth rate of 12.9%, and Hainan Province achieved a high growth rate of 11.2%, followed by Shanxi, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Beijing, Shandong, Anhui, Chongqing, Sichuan and so on.
"2021 is a year of steady economic recovery in various places, and the frontrunner is still the first echelon of provinces, showing a development trend of catching up with each other and seeking progress in stability." Liu Xiangdong, deputy director of the Economic Research Department of the China Center for International Economic Exchanges, told this reporter that the report card of each province in 2021 shows some new characteristics -
The total economic volume of Hubei Province exceeded 5 trillion yuan. Liu Xiangdong analyzed that Hubei Province has seen a more significant recovery compared with other parts of the country, with an economic growth rate of up to 12.9%, on the one hand, affected by the negative 5% low base effect in 2020, and on the other hand, it has also benefited from the strong support given to Hubei by all parties since the outbreak of the epidemic.
The growth rate of Hainan Province is outstanding. In 2021, the dividend of the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port will be initially released, and the growth rate of Hainan Province's gdp, fixed asset investment, and total retail sales of social consumer goods will rank among the top in the country. Liu Zigen, director of the Hainan Provincial Bureau of Statistics, said that in 2021, the growth rate of the main indicators in Hainan Province will be faster than that of the previous year, and the growth rate of the main economic indicators will historically rank among the forefront of the country, fully demonstrating the strong impetus brought by the construction of the free trade port for economic and social development.
A new breakthrough has been made in per capita GDP growth. In 2021, the country's per capita GDP will exceed 80,000 yuan, equivalent to 12,500 US dollars. Specifically, the per capita GDP of Beijing, Shanghai and Jiangsu exceeded 20,000 US dollars, of which Beijing and Shanghai were about 28,500 US dollars and 27,000 US dollars respectively, which is getting closer and closer to the threshold of 30,000 US dollars.
The "trillion club" expanded again
Beijing and Shanghai both have a GDP of more than 4 trillion yuan, and Dongguan has become the 24th city with a GDP of more than one trillion yuan
After reading the provincial report card, look at the city - in 2022, the "trillion club" city will continue to expand.
On January 24, the Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Statistics announced the economic operation of Dongguan in 2021: the GDP of Dongguan City in 2021 was 1,085.535 billion yuan, an increase of 8.2% year-on-year, and an average growth rate of 4.6% in two years. So far, Dongguan has become the 24th city in China with a GDP of more than one trillion yuan, and the fourth city in Guangdong Province to exceed one trillion yuan of GDP.
In the context of the Pearl River Delta already has two trillion GDP cities in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, why does Dongguan stand out? Liu Xiangdong analyzed that this is mainly due to the clear division of labor in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Dongguan carries the radiation driving role of Shenzhen and other cities, forms a strong industrial cluster in electronic information, electrical machinery, furniture and clothing, food and beverages, etc., and forms a good complementary supporting facility with other cities in the Greater Bay Area, attracting more capital, talents, technology and other element resources, making it a global production workshop and manufacturing base, and walking in the forefront of the country in opening up to the outside world.
The number of "trillion club" cities is growing, and the total economic volume of the head cities has also reached a new level.
In 2021, the total GDP of Beijing and Shanghai will cross the threshold of 4 trillion yuan, reaching 4,026.96 billion yuan and 4,321.485 billion yuan respectively. In terms of growth rate, Shanghai's gdp growth rate is slightly lower than that of Beijing. Shenzhen became the third city in China with a GDP of more than 3 trillion yuan. Guangzhou and Chongqing followed with 2,823.197 billion yuan and 2,789.402 billion yuan, and the gap between the two widened from less than 1.7 billion yuan in 2020 to 33.795 billion yuan, and the status of the four first-tier cities in the "north, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen" was more stable.
"New members" are fiercely competitive. The actual growth rates of Wuhan, Hefei and Fuzhou ranked among the top in the country, reaching 12.2%, 9.2% and 9% respectively, which was 8.1% higher than the national average. The gap between Hefei and Jinan has been further narrowed.
Many cities have listed GDP exceeding one trillion yuan as an economic development goal. The two cities of Changzhou and Xuzhou in Jiangsu have increased significantly, with GDP reaching 880.758 billion yuan and 811.744 billion yuan respectively in 2021, becoming the next batch of trillion urban "reserve army". Liu Xiangdong analyzed: "During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Yantai, Changzhou, Xuzhou, Tangshan, Dalian, Wenzhou, Kunming, Xiamen and other cities proposed that the total GDP in the next few years should exceed one trillion yuan. Judging from the current development situation, it is not easy to achieve this goal, and these cities still need to continue to rivet their efforts to be expected to enter the "trillion club" as soon as possible. ”
Charge around for 2022
——The central region is catching up, and industrial upgrading and consumption recovery are the highlights
Looking forward to 2022, in addition to Tianjin, 30 provinces have put forward the expected economic growth target for 2022 in the government work report, with Hainan ranking first with a target of about 9% and Tibet as about 8%.
Industrial upgrading and consumption recovery are the highlights of steady growth in various places.
Looking back at the 2021 report card, most of the provinces with rising GDP volume and quality have shown the characteristics of strong emerging kinetic energy, the proportion of advanced manufacturing is large, and the driving force of high-tech industries has been enhanced. In the new year, all localities will also emphasize industrial upgrading and high-quality development, and list new energy, digital economy, intelligent manufacturing, and the development of specialized and new "little giants" as development priorities.
All localities have also clearly stated that they will continue to promote the recovery of consumption. Since the end of last year, more than 30 cities such as Chongqing, Chengdu, Hefei, Zhengzhou and Nanjing have successively launched consumption coupons. These coupons are mainly concentrated in the fields of catering, shopping, tourism and sports, in order to bring about the "two festivals" of consumption. Liu Xiangdong believes that the recovery of consumption still faces many challenges, but it has always been an important way for stable growth in various places. He suggested that all localities should continue to promote urban renewal and consumption-oriented cities, accelerate the smooth flow of the domestic economic cycle, and take the initiative to improve the stability of economic growth.
It is worth noting that the growth targets set by the six central provinces in 2022 are higher. Among them, Hunan and Shanxi are set at 6.5%, and Henan, Anhui, Jiangxi and Hubei are set at 7%.
In 2021, the total GDP of the six central provinces will reach 25,013.25 billion yuan, accounting for more than 20% of the total national economy, and the proportion will gradually expand. Among them, Henan's total GDP in 2021 will reach 5.89 trillion yuan, making it the largest economic province in central China. The total GDP of Hubei also exceeded 5 trillion yuan for the first time, Hunan Province was 4.6 trillion yuan, and Anhui's GDP last year also crossed the threshold of 4 trillion yuan. The growth momentum of Shanxi and Jiangxi is also very good.
For the catch-up trend formed in the central region and the future development prospects of the central region, Chen Yao, vice president of the China Regional Economic Association, analyzed: "In 2021, the central government has issued opinions on promoting the high-quality development of the central region, pointing out the direction for the development of the central region. In order to build an important advanced manufacturing center in the country, the advantages of energy and manufacturing in the central region will continue to play. In particular, the state attaches great importance to the development of the real economy, the central region as the center of advanced manufacturing will play an important role, the country's manufacturing industry will be further concentrated in the central region, and its equipment manufacturing advantages will be more prominent. ”
"In 2022, the mainland is facing the triple pressure of demand contraction, supply shock, and weak expectations, and all localities pay more attention to the guidance of expectations, and many provinces have taken the initiative to lower their economic growth targets, but still maintain a medium and high-speed level of more than 5%, and the good competitive situation of catching up with each other continues." Liu Xiangdong believes that the momentum of regional economic development this year is generally optimistic. Reporter Xu Peiyu
