Hangzhou Mayor Yao Gaoyuan: The city's GDP is expected to reach 2 trillion yuan
On the morning of November 7, the 5th World Hangzhou Entrepreneurs Conference, sponsored by the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, with the theme of "Standing at the Forefront of the Tide and Enlightening the Future with Wisdom", opened in Hangzhou. Yao Gaoyuan, deputy secretary of the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee and mayor, delivered a keynote speech, saying that Hangzhou is in an important window of "building a metropolis and promoting modernization", is moving towards the road of high-quality development, and is promoting the upgrading of new and old kinetic energy, with unprecedented opportunities and unprecedented development prospects for Hangzhou businessmen.
Yao Gaoyuan said that this year's "three joys" in Hangzhou have three landmark events: First, Hangzhou is the third city to host the Asian Games after Beijing and Guangzhou, and the Hangzhou Asian Games has been praised by the outside world as "the largest event, the highest intelligence, the best results, and the best internal and external responses", and Hangzhou's reputation and international influence have been greatly improved. Second, the total population of Hangzhou exceeded 10 million (10.021 million) for the first time, and it has entered a megacity from a megacity to a megacity, and has been promoted to one of the 10 megacities in the country in one fell swoop, and the city's energy level will reach a new level. Third, Hangzhou's GDP is expected to reach 2 trillion yuan this year, the siphon effect of resource elements will be stronger, the gathering of science and technology, industry and talents will be faster, and the momentum of high-quality development will be stronger.
Interpretation: In the next two to three years, cities with a GDP trillion yuan are about to usher in a round of large-scale expansion, and correspondingly, the head economic strong cities will further align with a higher level. Last year, Chengdu became the seventh city in the country with a GDP of 2 trillion yuan after Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing and Suzhou, and now the pressure is on Hangzhou and Wuhan, which are also in the 1.8 trillion GDP range.
Judging from the economic data in the first three quarters of this year, the GDP of Hangzhou and Wuhan reached 1,443.8 billion yuan and 1,416.39 billion yuan respectively, with a growth rate of 5.8% and 5.5%. Both cities are expected to hit the 2 trillion mark this year, and even Hangzhou's advantage is more obvious, leading Wuhan by 27.41 billion yuan. But compared with the third quarter of last year, Hangzhou also led Wuhan by more than 40 billion yuan, but was finally overtaken in the fourth quarter.
Stretching the timeline to the past ten years, it will be found that before 2020, Wuhan's economic aggregate was ahead of Hangzhou, and under the influence of multiple factors in 2020 and 2021, Hangzhou's GDP surpassed Wuhan for two consecutive years, and then in 2022, it was overtaken by Wuhan with an advantage of 11.343 billion yuan.
At present, the economic tug-of-war between the two cities is mainly reflected in the industrial structure - Wuhan has automobile manufacturing and biomedicine as its pillar industries, while Hangzhou's advantage lies in the digital economy. Judging from the data of the first three quarters of this year, the added value of the secondary industry in Hangzhou was 411.9 billion yuan, an increase of 1.1 percent, and that in Wuhan reached 524.859 billion yuan, an increase of 4.4 percent, a difference of more than 100 billion yuan.
Although Hangzhou's secondary industry is slightly inferior, the added value of the tertiary industry exceeded one trillion yuan for the first time in the first three quarters, with a total amount of 1,009 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.8%, and Wuhan was 858.943 billion yuan in the same period, an increase of 6.1%, which laid the foundation for Hangzhou to outperform Wuhan in the third quarter. But whether you can have the last laugh will have to wait until the end of the year to find out.
It is worth mentioning that at present, the seven cities in the mainland's "two trillion club" take different times to cross from 1 trillion yuan to 2 trillion yuan, Shanghai 5 years, Beijing, Shenzhen and Chongqing 6 years, Guangzhou and Chengdu 8 years, and Suzhou 9 years. If Hangzhou and Wuhan can enter the "two trillion club" this year, Hangzhou will also be 9 years, and Wuhan will be 10 years.
Behind this is the difference in the size of the city, and there is also a change in the economic growth model. It has been pointed out that the current large GDP means that diversified economic and social units cannot be driven by just one industry, one enterprise, and one group of people. In the era of high-quality development, it is more necessary to rely on new industries, new forms of business, and new technologies to drive the leap of urban economic volume.
