The provincial-level and local two sessions are an important window to observe China's economy. At present, the 2023 GDP data of China's 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have all been released, and the expected economic growth targets for 2024 have also been released.
13 provinces. The GDP target for the new year is higher than last year's growth rate.
2023 is a year of economic recovery after the transition of epidemic prevention and control, and the economic development of various regions is facing multiple difficulties and challenges, but some provinces have still made new breakthroughs.
From the perspective of major economic provinces, Guangdong has become the first province in the country with a GDP exceeding 13 trillion yuan. Jiangsu has become the first province in the country to have five "trillion cities". Shandong's GDP exceeded 9 trillion yuan for the first time. Zhejiang's GDP exceeded 8 trillion yuan for the first time.
Sichuan's GDP exceeded 6 trillion yuan for the first time, becoming the first province in the west with a GDP exceeding 6 trillion yuan. Chongqing's GDP exceeded 3 trillion yuan for the first time, becoming the first city in the central and western regions with a GDP exceeding 3 trillion yuan.
Standing on a new stage and facing a new situation, how to set the economic growth targets of various provinces in the new year depends on both strength and confidence, which is the vane for observing China's economy.
Judging from the New Year's GDP targets finalized by various provinces, the vast majority of provinces are not less than 5%, among them, Hainan and ** have set their growth targets for 2024 at about 8%, which is the highest in the country.
Among them, the GDP growth target of 13 provinces, namely Guangdong, Henan, Fujian, Hunan, Anhui, Shaanxi, Jiangxi, Liaoning, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Tianjin, and Heilongjiang, is higher than the actual GDP growth rate in 2023.
These 13 provinces, which cover the eastern, central and western regions, have set a GDP growth target higher than last year's growth rate to send a positive signal, reflecting the optimistic expectations of the local economy for the future situation and confidence in a stable recovery.
Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Shandong, the top three major economic provinces, have all anchored their GDP growth targets for 2024 at 5%, but the specific expressions are slightly different, with Guangdong at 5%, and Jiangsu and Shandong at more than 5%.
From the perspective of the four municipalities directly under the central government, Beijing and Shanghai have both anchored their economic growth targets for 2024 at about 5%. Tianjin's GDP growth target for 2024 is 4About 5%. Chongqing has set an economic growth target of around 6% for 2024. Chongqing said that this goal is "a jump and a leap to reach", which reflects self-pressure and initiative, and strives to achieve better results in practical work.
Pay more attention to high-quality development.
The main "innovation card".
In the new year, the setting of economic growth targets in various places reflects a "high" and a "new".
"High" means high-quality development. All localities require not only to pay attention to the reasonable growth of quantity, but also to emphasize the effective improvement of quality.
Focusing on the primary task of high-quality development, all localities have made further layouts. Jiangsu requires that high-quality development be promoted to a new level and a new situation in the midst of knowing the heavy burden. Zhejiang iteratively upgraded the "8+4" economic policy system. Optimize 8 policy packages and 4 element guarantee lists, and arrange provincial financial funds 1023600 million yuan to support high-quality economic development.
"New" means new quality productivity. In accordance with the deployment of the first economic work conference, "leading the construction of a modern industrial system with scientific and technological innovation" is placed in the first place of the key tasks, and it is necessary to promote industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, especially to promote new industries, new models and new kinetic energy with disruptive technologies and cutting-edge technologies, and develop new quality productivity.
The specific deployment of 2024 proposed by various localities is also closely related to this requirement, highlighting the "innovation card", firmly grasping the "bull's nose" of scientific and technological innovation, and increasing new momentum to new quality productivity.
Lay out the future industry. Vigorously developing future industries is a strategic choice to lead scientific and technological progress, promote industrial upgrading, and cultivate new quality productivity. Strive to create a leading area for future industries and become a good "first move" for many provinces.
Guangdong, which adheres to the real economy as the foundation and the manufacturing industry as the leader, proposes to implement the action plan of five future industrial clusters, advance the layout of future industries such as 6G, quantum technology, life sciences, and humanoid robots, and create a national future industry pilot area. Shanghai also proposed to cultivate and upgrade high-end industrial clusters such as new energy vehicles, high-end equipment, advanced materials, civil aviation, and spatial information, and accelerate the construction of future industrial pilot areas. Shandong has made it clear that it will support Jinan, Qingdao and Yantai to build future industrial pilot areas. Zhejiang proposed to support Hangzhou and Ningbo to strive for future industrial pilot areas.
Break new ground. Beijing proposes to open up new tracks for future industries such as quantum, life sciences, and 6G. Jiangsu requires that new tracks be opened up for industries such as future networks, quantum, life sciences, hydrogen energy and new energy storage, and deep-sea, deep-earth, aerospace and space.
Breakthroughs in key technologies. Hubei proposes to concentrate on breaking through the "bottleneck" technologies such as high-end AI chips, intelligent CNC machine tools, and high-end medical equipment, and forward-looking planning for the "nuclear explosion point" of scientific and technological innovation with a scale of 100 billion yuan such as biosynthesis and aerospace technology, so as to build a "card position" advantage in the innovation track. Beijing requires that major integrated circuit projects be accelerated and greater breakthroughs should be made in the fields of optoelectronic integration and core technology.
The goal has been set, and all localities are also seizing the start and striving to achieve a good start in 2024.
