Today, let's talk about the topic of what drives economic growth. Economic growth is a goal that every country pursues, but the key factors driving economic growth are a complex issue. Different countries, different periods, may have different dominant factors. In traditional economics, investment, consumption, and exports are the troika that drives economic growth. With the global economic growth recession, China's GDP in 2023 will increase by 5% year-on-year2%, not only slapped those who advocate China's economic bubble in the face, but also shocked the world's jaws. Then someone is going to ask, this year's business is not good, wages have not risen, investment, **, buy a house feel that assets are shrinking, with the continuous violent interest rate hikes of the dollar, tightening global liquidity, superimposed by the United States and Europe on China's ** restrictions, the overall investment and exports are sluggish. What is the economic growth that has led us to this growth rate?

First, we need to look at the impact of consumption on economic growth. Consumption is an important force driving economic growth, and it is directly related to the formation and expansion of market demand. With the improvement of people's income level and the change of consumption concept, consumer demand has shown a trend of diversification and upgrading. The growth of consumption can stimulate the development of enterprise production and service industries, which in turn stimulates the sustained growth of the entire economy. It can be said that in the past 10 years, consumption has gradually become the primary driving force for China's economic growth. In the context of the global economic downturn, the role of consumption in economic growth has become more and more prominent. Consumption also increased by 14 percent year-on-yearThe proud result of 5% carries the banner of economic recovery in 2023.

Second, investment is one of the important drivers of economic growth. Investment can promote the improvement of productivity, promote the development of enterprises and the upgrading of industries. In particular, investments in infrastructure, R&D, and human capital can energize the economy as a whole. Through investment, companies can improve production efficiency, expand market share, and attract more capital and talent, forming a virtuous circle. China's investment in the high-tech field in recent years has also brought considerable impetus to our economic growth.

Third, international growth is also one of the important driving forces of economic growth. By carrying out international development, the country can make full use of its own resources and advantages, improve production efficiency and expand market share. International ** can promote the circulation of products and the allocation of resources, enhance the competitiveness of enterprises and the overall economic strength of the country. Especially in the era of globalization, the international market has a non-negligible role in economic growth. In 2023, the surplus of goods will be 4,279.4 billion yuan, and with the current global economic situation, there is a deficit in industrial countries, and it is the norm for foreign trade to shrink collectively, and it is an outlier for China to create a huge surplus. This is mainly due to the gradual advancement of our Belt and Road Initiative. Since the beginning of this year, our imports and exports to countries along the Belt and Road have accounted for nearly 50% of the total, and the fundamental reason for the success of the Belt and Road Initiative.

Finally, let's look at the impact of technological innovation on economic growth. Technological innovation is an important driving force for economic development, which can bring about the improvement of production efficiency, the improvement of product quality and the rise of new industries. With the development of science and technology, many new technologies are applied to various industries, such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, etc., which not only improve productivity, but also give birth to new business models and economic growth points. With the leap of China's product technology. Exports of new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic solar energy alone have increased by about 50%, which also shows that China has officially transformed from a world foundry to a leader in some high-end manufacturing fields.

Technological innovation, investment, consumption and international** are key drivers of economic growth. They are intertwined and mutually influencing each other, and together they promote economic development. Although there is still some pressure in all walks of life, and there will definitely be people who look down on China in the future, history has proven countless times that China's economy is unstoppable.
