中国经济要闻
Chinas economic recovery gained pace in April, newly released official data showed on Tuesday, as domestic consumption has kept surging in the first four months of the year, while industrial production and fixed asset investment are both rising.
According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Tuesday, the industrial added value of major industrial enterprises in China rose by 5.6 percent in April, accelerating from a 3.9 percent growth in March.
In particular, the output of emerging industries continued to rise on a monthly basis. For example, the output of solar cells products rose by 69.1 percent on a yearly basis in April.
On the demand side, the retail sales of consumer goods jumped 18.4 percent year-on-year during the same period, up from a 10.6 percent rise in March, as domestic consumption ranging from car sales to tourism have kept on rebounding.
Chinas service production index surged by 13.5 percent year-on-year in April, 4.3 percentage points faster than that of the previous month, with notable improvements in the contact-and-gathering-based service activities.
Fixed-assets investment surged by 4.7 percent year-on-year in the first four months. However, real estate investment continued to slip by 6.2 percent year-on-year, while sales volume went up 8.8 percent in the period.
Chinas surveyed urban unemployment rate stood at 5.2 percent in April, down 0.1 percentage points from the previous month. According to the NBS, jobless rate in people aging 25 to 29 came down to 4.2 percent, lower than the pre-pandemic 2019 level.
The Chinese economy continues to rebound in April with positive factors on the rise. That said, with the complex and severe international landscape and the insufficient domestic demand, the internal driving force for economic growth remains modest, NBS spokesperson Fu Linghui told a news conference.
Going forward, efforts to bring out the effects of the policies and stimulate the vitality of business entities will be better aligned, and proactive steps will be taken to restore and expand demand, and accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system, to effectively upgrade the quality and appropriately expand the output of Chinese economy, Fu said.
5月16日，国家统计局发布4大姨妈济数据，经济整体延续恢复态势，从各项指标来看服务业和消费恢复进程更快。
总体来看，4月都数经济指标增速在回升，尤其是接触型服务业延续加快恢复态势，不外各项指标回升跟去年同期基数较低相关。
国家统计局资讯发言人、百姓经济综合统计司司长付凌晖在国新办发布会上暗示，今年败兴，我国疫情防控取得了重大决定性胜利，经济社会全面恢复常态化运行，宏观政策靠前协同发力，百姓经济回升向好。
4月份，社会消费品零售总额34910亿元，同比增长18.4%，比上月加快7.8个百分点；环比增长0.49%。全国服务业生产指数同比增长13.5%，比上月加快4.3个百分点。分行业看，住宿和餐饮业，批发和零售业，交通运输、仓储和邮政业，信息传输、软件和信息技术服务业生产指数同比分别增长48.7%、18.8%、17.6%、13.2%，比上月分别加快18.8、7.9、5.7、1.2个百分点。服务业商务活动指数为55.1%，业务活动预期指数为62.3%。其中，铁路运输、航空运输、住宿、电信广播电视及卫星传输服务、文化体育娱乐等行业商务活动指数位置于60%以上高位景气区间。
付凌晖暗示，前期受到压抑的服务需要继续释放，接触型、聚集型服务业回升显著，服务业整体保持较快增长。
服务业的加快恢复，带动整体就业形势的好转。4月份，全国城镇调查失业率为5.2%，比上月下降0.1个百分点。其中，16-24岁、25-59岁劳动力调查失业率分别为20.4%、4.2%。
付凌晖暗示，就业形势整体改善，消费和服务业企稳回升，有望作为二季度经济向好的重要支撑力量。今年随着经济运行全面恢复常态化，劳动参与率稳步提高。近期非常多劳动力返回就业市场。全国城镇调查失业率呈现下降态势，说明就业趋势在改善向好。尤其是，25到59岁就业主体人群的城镇调查失业率日前已然小于2019年疫情前水平。
投资方面，1-4月份，全国固定资产投资（不含农户）同比增长4.7%，比1-3月份回落0.4个百分点。房地产投资仍在下行通道，全国房地产研发投资35514亿元，同比下降6.2%，较1-3月份降幅扩大0.4个百分点。房地产整体营销整体在好转。1-4月份，商品房营销面积同比下降0.4%，较1-3月份降幅收窄1.4个百分点；商品房营销额增长8.8%，较1-3月份加快4.7个百分点。
付凌晖暗示，今年败兴，房地产市场需要较快释放，商品房营销有所恢复，住宅营销价格环比显现上涨，房地产研发企业资金情况有所改善。进入4月份败兴，随着前期积压住房需要释放，部分城市市场热度有所下降、市场预期有所下调。尽管房地产市场需要显现恢复迹象，但房地产投资和研发建设仍在下降，房地产市场整体处在调节期。
工业生产方面，4月份，全国规模以上工业增多值同比增长5.6%，比上月加快1.7个百分点；环比下降0.47%。付凌晖回复21世纪经济报告记者提问暗示，4月份，制造业PMI显现小幅回落至临界点以下，是在经济恢复过程中的暂时性现象。从重点原由看，一是前期生产快速修复，需要恢复相对偏慢；二是前期因为工业企业库存增长较快；三是企业生产节奏安排的季节性变化。总的来看，我国经济社会恢复常态化运行以后，制造业PMI这种变化重点是工业生产过程其中的短期波动。从企业预期来看，在制造业PMI中，生产经营活动预期指数4月份是54.7%，保持在景气区间，说明企业生产经营前景预期总体稳定。下周期，随着经济内生动力加强，推动工业经济安稳增长政策效应显现，企业生产经营好转，制造业PMI逐步改善。
付凌晖暗示，下周期，服务业恢复向好态势有望连续，将发挥对经济回升重要支撑功效。稳增长、稳就业、稳物价政策亦会进一步落实落细，有利于经济连续恢复向好。针对经济恢复面临的困难和挑战亦要保持清醒认识。下周期，要着力恢复和扩大需要，加快建设现代化产业体系，推动经济实现质的有效提高和量的恰当增长。

The countrys CPI reading may rise mildly in the second half of the year and reach the average level seen in recent years by the end of the year as the gap between supply and demand narrows, the central bank added.
