Recently, the GDP data of 31 provinces, autonomous regions and cities in 2021 have been released successively, and the expected targets of economic growth in 2022 have been released one after another. 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, all provinces generally achieved restorative growth in 2021, especially the economic growth of Hubei Province and Hainan Province. In terms of cities, the total GDP of Beijing and Shanghai exceeds 4 trillion yuan, while Dongguan has become the 24th city with a total GDP of more than trillion yuan in China and the fourth member of the "trillion club" in Guangdong. The total GDP of many places has reached a new level —— Guangdong's GDP exceeds 12 trillion yuan, and Hubei's economic growth ranks first in China In 2021, the total GDP of many provinces will reach a new level. Guangdong is a real GDP province. In 2021, the total GDP of Guangdong Province reached 12.44 trillion yuan, becoming the first and only province in China with a GDP of 12 trillion yuan, ranking first in China for 33 consecutive years. Jiangsu Province will achieve a total GDP of 11.64 trillion yuan in 2021; Shandong Province is 8.31 trillion yuan; The total GDP of Zhejiang Province is 7.35 trillion yuan; The total GDP of Henan Province reached 5.89 trillion yuan. If calculated at last year's average exchange rate, the GDP of Guangdong and Jiangsu provinces has exceeded the total economy of South Korea. The total volume has reached a new level, and the economic growth rate has also maintained high restorative growth. In 2021, Hubei Province ranked first in China 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 and Sichuan. "2021 is a year of steady economic recovery in all regions, and the leader is still the province in the first tier, 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 our reporter that the transcripts of various provinces in 2021 showed some new characteristics—— The total economic output of Hubei Province exceeded 5 trillion yuan. Liu Xiangdong analyzed that compared with other parts of the country, Hubei Province has experienced a more significant recovery, with an economic growth rate of 12.9%. On the one hand, it is affected by the low base effect of negative 5% in 2020, on the other hand, it also benefits 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 bonus of Hainan free trade port construction was initially released, and the growth rate of regional GDP, fixed asset investment and total retail sales of social consumer goods in Hainan Province ranked among the top in China. Liu Zigeng, director of Hainan Provincial Bureau of statistics, said that the growth rate of major indicators in Hainan Province in 2021 was faster than that of the previous year, and the growth rate of major economic indicators was historically among the top in the country, fully demonstrating the strong driving force brought by the construction of free trade port for economic and social development. New breakthroughs were made in per capita GDP growth. In 2021, China's per capita GDP will exceed 80000 yuan, equivalent to 12500 US dollars. Specifically, the per capita GDP of Beijing, Shanghai and Jiangsu exceeded US $20000, of which Beijing and Shanghai were about US $28500 and US $27000 respectively, closer and closer to the US $30000 mark. Further expansion of "trillion club" —— The GDP of Beijing and Shanghai exceeded 4 trillion yuan, and Dongguan became the 24th city with a GDP exceeding 1 trillion yuan After reading the provincial report card, then look at the city - in 2022, the "trillion club" city will continue to expand. On January 24, Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Statistics announced the economic operation of Dongguan in 2021: the regional GDP of Dongguan in 2021 was 1085.535 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.2% and an average increase of 4.6% in two years. So far, Dongguan has become the 24th city with a GDP exceeding trillion yuan in China and the fourth city with a GDP exceeding trillion yuan in Guangdong Province. Under the background that there are two trillion GDP cities in the Pearl River Delta, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, why does Dongguan stand out? According to Liu Xiangdong's analysis, this is mainly due to the clear industrial division in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Bay area. Bearing the radiating and driving role of Shenzhen and other cities, Dongguan has formed a strong industrial cluster in electronic information, electrical machinery, furniture and clothing, food and beverage, and formed a good complementary support with other cities in Dawan District, attracting more capital, talents, technology and other important resources, making it a global production workshop and manufacturing base, And has been at the forefront of the country in terms of opening to the outside world. The number of "trillion club" cities is growing, and the economic aggregate of the leading cities has reached a new level. In 2021, the total GDP of Beijing and Shanghai crossed the threshold of 4 trillion yuan, reaching 4026.96 billion yuan and 4321.485 billion yuan respectively. In terms of growth rate, the actual growth rate of GDP in Shanghai is slightly lower than that in Beijing. Shenzhen has become the third city in China whose GDP has exceeded 3 trillion yuan. Guangzhou and Chongqing followed closely with 2823.197 billion yuan and 2789.402 billion yuan. The gap between them expanded from less than 1.7 billion yuan in 2020 to 33.795 billion yuan. The status of the four first tier cities of "Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen" is more stable. "New members" are highly competitive. The actual growth rates of Wuhan, Hefei and Fuzhou were among the highest in China, reaching 12.2%, 9.2% and 9% respectively, higher than the national average of 8.1%. The gap between Hefei and Jinan has been further narrowed. Many cities listed GDP exceeding trillion yuan as their economic development goal. Changzhou and Xuzhou in Jiangsu are growing significantly, with GDP reaching 880.758 billion yuan and 811.744 billion yuan respectively in 2021, becoming the "reserve force" of the next batch of trillion cities. Liu Xiangdong analyzed: "during the 14th Five Year Plan period, Yantai, Changzhou, Xuzhou, Tangshan, Dalian, Wenzhou, Kunming, Xiamen and other cities proposed to strive for a total GDP of more than trillion yuan in the next few years. From the current development situation, it is not easy to achieve this goal. These cities still need to continue to make great efforts before they are expected to enter the 'trillion club' as soon as possible." Local power accumulation sprint 2022 —— Central China is catching up, and industrial upgrading and consumption recovery are the highlights Looking forward to 2022, except Tianjin, 30 provinces have put forward the expected economic growth target for 2022 in the government work report. The target of about 9% in Hainan ranks first and about 8% in Tibet. Industrial upgrading and consumption recovery are the highlights of steady growth in various regions. Looking back at the report card of 2021, most of the provinces with both quantity and quality of GDP show the characteristics of strong emerging momentum, with a large proportion of advanced manufacturing industry and enhanced driving force of high-tech industry. In the new year, all localities also place more emphasis on industrial upgrading and high-quality development, focusing on new energy, digital economy, intelligent manufacturing and the development of specialized and new "little giants". All localities also made it clear that they would continue to promote the recovery of consumption. Since the end of last year, more than 30 cities including Chongqing, Chengdu, Hefei, Zhengzhou and Nanjing have successively launched consumption vouchers. These coupons are mainly concentrated in catering, shopping, tourism, sports and other fields to promote "two festivals" consumption. Liu Xiangdong believes that the recovery of consumption still faces many challenges, but it has always been an important way to stabilize growth everywhere. He suggested that all localities should continue to promote urban renewal and the construction of consumer cities, accelerate the smooth domestic economic cycle, and take the initiative to improve the stability of economic growth. It is worth noting that the six provinces in Central China set higher growth targets in 2022. 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 provinces in Central China will reach 25013.25 billion yuan, accounting for more than 20% of the total national economy, and the proportion will gradually expand. Among them, Henan's total GDP reached 5.89 trillion yuan in 2021, making it the largest economic province in Central China. The total GDP of Hubei also exceeded 5 trillion yuan for the first time, that of Hunan Province was 4.6 trillion yuan, and that of Anhui also crossed the threshold of 4 trillion yuan last year. 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 China Association of regional economics, analyzed: "In 2021, the central government issued special opinions on promoting high-quality development in the central region, pointing out the direction for the development of the central region. To build an important national advanced manufacturing center, the advantages of the central region in energy and manufacturing will continue to be brought into play. In particular, the state attaches great importance to the development of the real economy, and the central region will play an important role as the center of advanced manufacturing , China's manufacturing industry will be further concentrated in the central region, and its advantages in equipment manufacturing will be more prominent. " "In 2022, China is facing the triple pressure of shrinking demand, supply shock and weakening expectation. All localities pay more attention to expectation guidance. Many provinces have taken the initiative to lower the economic growth target, but they still maintain the medium and high-speed level of more than 5%, and the good competition situation of chasing each other continues." Liu Xiangdong believes that the momentum of regional economic development this year is generally optimistic. (Xinhua News Agency)
