By 2026, Kunming, with a population of more than 8.46 million people, is expected to have a total economic volume of more than 1 trillion yuan, a permanent population of more than 10 million people, and a per capita GDP of more than 15,000 US dollars.

The "2022 Kunming Municipal People's Government Work Report (Full Text)" released by the WeChat public account of Kunming Daily "Kunming Daily Headlines" a few days ago mentioned the above goals. Prior to this, the "Proposal of the Kunming Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the 14th Five-Year Plan for the National Economic and Social Development of Kunming and the Long-term Goals for the Year 2035" issued in 2020 mentioned that by 2025, Kunming's per capita GDP will increase significantly, and the total economic volume will exceed 1 trillion yuan.

The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) noted that in the whole of 2021, Kunming achieved a regional GDP of 722.25 billion yuan, an increase of 3.7%.

The 3.7% growth rate is much lower than the 7.3% GDP growth rate of Yunnan Province in 2021. In response to this achievement, the Kunming Municipal Bureau of Statistics published an analysis that due to the sporadic distribution of the domestic epidemic situation, the increase in the base number in the same period last year, the dual control of energy consumption, the poor economic structure, the downward trend of real estate investment and other factors, the foundation for sustained and stable economic growth in the city still needs to be consolidated.

During the two sessions of Yunnan Province in January 2022, Wang Yubo, deputy secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee and governor of Yunnan Province, pointed out when participating in the deliberation of the government work report of the Kunming delegation that There is a gap in Kunming's grasp of development, development and promotion of development. "It is necessary to meet the requirements of the provincial party committee and the provincial government and the expectations of the people of the whole province and the whole city, recognize the problems, recognize the gaps, and recognize the shortcomings, wake up from feeling good, cheer up from being satisfied with the status quo, and act from scrambling."

In February this year, Governor Wang Yubo again mentioned that Kunming's development "has reached a critical juncture of breaking the ship and fighting a war against the waters."

Yunnan Daily reported on February 10 that from February 8 to 9, the Yunnan Provincial Government held an on-site meeting in Kunming. Wang Yubo, deputy secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee and governor of Yunnan Province, stressed that Kunming Should pay close attention to the implementation of this year's goals and tasks, so that the economic scheduling is scientific and accurate, the project investment is fully exerted, the industrial development is substantively breakthrough, the service industry is iteratively upgraded, the main body cultivation is accelerated, the urban and rural construction is deeply excavated, and the economic work is turned around.

The surging news noted that in January 2022, in response to the question of how to do Kunming's economic work this year, the WeChat public account "Kun Pao Headlines" published an article saying that the service industry is a new engine to drive economic growth. In terms of promoting the high-quality development of the service industry, it is necessary to make great efforts in the four aspects of the tourism industry, the financial industry, the headquarters economy, and the real estate industry. For Kunming, the contribution rate of the service industry to the city's economic growth is huge, and the basic disk of economic development is still in the service industry.

The above article also mentioned that based on this, it is necessary to vigorously develop modern finance, modern logistics, research and development design, exhibition economy, e-commerce, information services, creative planning and other productive service industries, effectively improve the quality of life services such as education and training, health services, pension services, leisure and entertainment, and promote the extension of productive service industries to specialization and high-end of the value chain, and the upgrading of living services to high quality and multipolarity.
