According to a report released by the Scientific Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China's economy will continue to operate smoothly in 2024, and economic growth will show a trend of low before high. This series of data reflects the continuous accumulation of endogenous momentum in China's economy, and remarkable achievements have been made in many industries, laying a solid foundation for economic development.
According to the latest report released by the State Food and Material Reserves Administration, China will purchase more than 800 billion catties of grain in 2023, a record high. At present, the national grain inventory is abundant, the purchase of autumn grain is advancing in an orderly manner, the important autumn grain varieties are sufficient, and the market is running smoothly on the whole. This data shows that China's stable development of agriculture and its ability to guarantee food security have provided a solid material foundation for economic development.
According to data released by the National Energy Administration, China's domestic oil and gas production equivalent in 2023 exceeded 3900 million tons, maintaining a rapid growth momentum of 10 million tons for 7 consecutive years, with an average annual growth rate of 11.7 million tons of oil equivalent. Specifically, China's ** production reached 20.8 billion tons, an increase of more than 3 million tons over last year; The output of natural gas reached 230 billion cubic meters, maintaining the momentum of increasing production by 10 billion cubic meters for seven consecutive years. This series of data reflects the steady growth and security** of China's energy sector, providing reliable energy support for economic growth.
In 2023, China's railway transportation ushered in a significant breakthrough. In terms of passenger transport, the national railways completed 36The number of passengers sent by 800 million people, and the number of passengers sent on peak days exceeded 20 million, and the number of passengers sent on both the whole year and peak days reached a record high. In terms of cargo transportation, the national railway has completed 39100 million tons of goods sent, once again set a new record. In addition, by the end of 2023, the operating mileage of China's railways will reach 1590,000 kilometers, of which 4 are high-speed rail50,000 km. The development of railway transport not only improves the convenience of people's travel and cargo transportation, but also provides strong infrastructure support for economic development.
In 2023, the postal industry also achieved significant growth in delivery business volume and business revenue. According to the data released by the State Post Bureau, the volume of mail delivery business completed 162 billion pieces, an increase of 165%；And the business income reached 15 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 135%。It is estimated that in 2024, the postal industry's mail business volume will continue to exceed 170 billion pieces. This series of data shows that the postal industry still plays an important role in the digital age, providing strong support for business activities, e-commerce, etc.
The achievements of these industries are outstanding, reflecting the accumulation of internal momentum for China's booming economy. Here's the breakdown:
As one of the world's largest agricultural countries, China's steady growth in grain production has ensured national food security. With the purchase of more than 800 billion catties of grain, the national grain stock is sufficient, providing a stable material foundation for residents' lives and industrial production. At the same time, the orderly progress of autumn grain procurement and the stable operation of the market have ensured the interests and income of farmers and provided solid support for agricultural modernization.
The continuous growth of oil and gas production has provided reliable energy support for China's economy. For seven consecutive years, it has maintained a growth momentum of 10 million tons, which has effectively met China's energy consumption demand. In particular, the continuous increase in natural gas production has provided a strong guarantee for the increase in the proportion of clean energy and the reduction of coal consumption. At the same time, the development of the oil and gas industry has also led to the development of related industries, such as petroleum processing, chemical industry, etc., forming a good industrial chain and market environment.
The development of rail transport has not only improved the travel experience of the people, but also provided strong support for the logistics industry. The substantial increase in passenger traffic has made railways one of the main choices for people to travel, relieving the pressure on road traffic. The continuous growth of cargo transportation volume has improved logistics efficiency, reduced logistics costs, and provided convenient logistics services for all walks of life. The continuous increase in investment in railway construction and the orderly progress of the project have provided a solid guarantee for the improvement and upgrading of railway transportation.
The rapid growth of business volume and business income in the postal industry is closely related to the vigorous development of e-commerce. As an important part of e-commerce distribution, the postal industry undertakes a large number of order processing and parcel delivery tasks. With the vigorous development of e-commerce, the volume and income of express delivery business continue to rise, providing a stable service guarantee for e-commerce. At the same time, the upgrading of digital and intelligent services in the postal industry has further improved efficiency and customer experience, and has made an important contribution to the prosperity of the e-commerce industry.
In general, the outstanding performance of many industries fully demonstrates the continuous accumulation of endogenous momentum in China's economy. The steady growth of grain production has ensured national food security, the continuous increase in energy production has provided reliable support for economic development, the improvement of railway transportation has improved logistics efficiency, and the rapid development of the postal industry has helped the prosperity of e-commerce. These achievements are inseparable from the support of national policies and the innovative efforts of enterprises, and also highlight the vitality and potential of China's economy.
From the above data, it can be seen that China's economy has made remarkable achievements in 2023, showing a trend of sustained and high-quality development. This series of data reflects the continuous accumulation of endogenous momentum in China's economy, and many industries have achieved remarkable results. This also reflects the unique resilience and strong potential of China's economic development.
However, we should also note that the current economic development is still facing some difficulties and challenges. Despite the steady growth of grain production, agricultural modernization still needs to be accelerated to improve the level of intelligence and digitalization of agriculture, and improve production efficiency and product quality. Although progress has been made in the energy sector, the proportion of clean energy still needs to be increased, and green development still needs to be strengthened. Although remarkable achievements have been made in the improvement and upgrading of railway transportation, the contradiction between supply and demand still exists in some regions and fields. Although the postal industry is developing rapidly, the competition in the industry is intensifying, and the quality and efficiency of service still need to be improved.
In the face of these challenges, I believe that policies and measures need to be further improved to increase support for areas such as agriculture, energy, transport and logistics. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen innovation capabilities, promote the deep integration of science and technology and industry, and provide strong scientific and technological support for the development of various industries. In addition, it is also necessary to strengthen international cooperation, open markets, attract more foreign investment and advanced technology, and promote substantial economic growth.
To sum up, the remarkable performance of many industries reflects the continuous accumulation of endogenous momentum in China's economy, which has laid a solid foundation for economic development. In the face of the current challenges and opportunities, I believe that under the leadership of the CPC and the CPC, China's economy will continue to maintain a steady and positive momentum and move towards more prosperous and sustainable development.
