"　Tian Yulong, member of the Party Leadership Group, Chief Engineer, and Spokesperson of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at a press conference on the development of industry and informatization in the first half of the year held by the State Information Office on July 16.
　　 Industrial economy continues to recover steadily
　　 In the first half of the year, the value added of the industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 15.9% year-on-year, and the two-year average growth rate was 7%. Among them, the two-year average growth rate in the first and second quarters was 6.8% and 6.6% respectively, with little fluctuation. The industrial capacity utilization rate reached 78.4% in the second quarter, an increase of 1.2 percentage points from the first quarter. Economic indicators such as industrial export delivery value and production-sales ratio are also at a relatively high level in recent years.
　　 Tian Yulong said that the first half of the year showed four main characteristics and highlights:
　 　One is the recovery of the industrial economy, and the development resilience is fully demonstrated. Since the beginning of this year, my country’s industrial economy has continued to recover steadily. Both ends of supply and demand have grown steadily. Domestic and external demand has accelerated. The recovery has continued to expand. Market expectations have stabilized and improved. Endogenous power has continued to increase, and corporate benefits have improved significantly.
　　 The second is the continuous advancement of industrial upgrading, and the cultivation and growth of new kinetic energy has been accelerated. Since the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has actively ensured the supply of normalized epidemic prevention and control materials and vaccines, and comprehensively increased my country's vaccine production capacity and output. At the same time, accelerate the promotion of green and low-carbon transformation of manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing engineering and innovative applications of the industrial Internet, implement special actions for the development of advanced manufacturing clusters, and build a national-level car networking pilot zone and a national artificial intelligence innovation application pilot zone. In the first half of the year, the added value of the high-tech manufacturing industry increased by 22.6% year-on-year, and the two-year average growth rate was 13.2%. The development of new kinetic energy and new industries has continued to increase innovation and traction.
　　 The third is the continuous improvement of production and operation, and the vitality of enterprise development continues to increase. Multiple departments jointly issued guidance on accelerating the cultivation of high-quality manufacturing enterprises, and vigorously cultivated specialized and new "little giant" enterprises and single-sport champion enterprises in the manufacturing industry. The “321” work system for small and medium-sized enterprises has continued to deepen, structural tax reduction measures have been implemented, promoted the reduction of financing guarantee rates for small and micro enterprises, further improved the long-term mechanism for preventing and resolving defaults on small and medium-sized enterprises, and continued to improve the policy environment for small and medium-sized enterprises. In the first half of the year, the value added of small and medium-sized industrial enterprises increased by 18% year-on-year, and the two-year average growth rate was 8.1%.
　　 Fourth, the development of information and communication is accelerated, and the integration of innovative applications is strong. At present, a total of 961,000 5G base stations have been opened. As of the end of June, it has covered all cities above the prefecture level in the country, with approximately 365 million 5G terminal connections. At the same time, the deployment of "dual gigabit" networks has been accelerated, and the number of gigabit broadband users has reached 13.62 million. The application scenarios of "5G+Industrial Internet" continue to expand, and 5G empowers industries to improve quality, increase efficiency, reduce costs, green, and safety. Under the multi-departmental linkage, efforts were made to rectify hidden information security risks, and the 12381 fraud-related early warning and dissuasion short message system was officially launched. App personal information protection and management actions, and telecommunications services adapted to aging reforms have achieved significant results, and the people's sense of security has been significantly improved.
       Tian Yulong said that the current global epidemic and the external environment still have large uncertainties and risk challenges. There are still many unstable factors in the continuous economic recovery, and the micro-economic operation still faces many difficulties and challenges, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises. . The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will work together with relevant departments to deepen the supply-side structural reforms, focus on preventing and resolving structural contradictions and risks, maintain a constant force, take advantage of the situation, and accelerate the continuous and stable recovery of the industrial economy and high-quality development to ensure the overall The successful completion of the tasks and objectives set for the year, the realization of a good start to the "14th Five-Year Plan", and a new chapter in the new journey of the second centenary.
　　
　　 Continuous optimization of the industrial structure
       "The main characteristics of the economic operation in the first half of the year can be summed up in three words. This is'reinforcing with stability, improving quality with stability, and improving with stability.' In terms of strengthening with stability, the recovery of industrial economic operation has become more stable and economic The stability, balance, and endogenity of growth have been further enhanced." said Huang Libin, spokesperson of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and director of the Operation Monitoring and Coordination Bureau.
　　 From the perspective of stability, excluding the impact of the annual base number, the two-year average growth rate has remained stable overall.　　
       From the perspective of balance, in the first half of the year, 39 of 41 major industries achieved growth, with a growth rate of more than 90%. The policy of expanding domestic demand to promote consumption was effective, and investment to make up for shortcomings increased. Domestic demand stimulated industrial growth. The role has been enhanced. In the first half of the year, the two-year average growth rate of the added value of the consumer goods manufacturing industry reached 4.8%, which was 0.6% faster than the first quarter.
　　From the perspective of endogenous nature, the dividends of various policies for helping enterprises and benefiting enterprises continue to show up, and market players have further recovered their vitality. Based on the substantial increase in corporate profitability, manufacturing investment in the first half of the year increased by 19.2% year-on-year, and market investment confidence continued to increase.
　　In terms of stabilizing and improving quality, the industrial economy has been operating within a reasonable range, the industrial structure has been continuously optimized, and the level of high-quality development has been further improved.
