On October 27, the National Bureau of Statistics released data. Industrial firms over the designated size saw an increase in operating income of 8.2% during the first three quarters of this year, while corporate profits decreased by 2.3%. Profits at industrial firms increased by 0.6% despite the industry structure.
The first three quarters of the year saw an increase of around 6.4% in the earnings of the equipment manufacturing business, accounting for 31.5% of the industrial firms over the designated size, according to statistics. The profits of the railway and shipping transportation equipment and instrumentation industries increased by 9.5% and 2.3%, respectively. The profit of the automobile manufacturing industry, however, fell by 1.9% on an annual basis, the decline narrowed by 5.4 percentage points, and this was caused by factors like the expansion of the production of new energy vehicles,
Profits of electricity, heat, gas and water production and supply have rebounded significantly. In the first three quarters, the profits of the electricity, heat, gas and water production and supply industries increased by 4.9% year-on-year, the first time this year, from a decline to an increase. The decline in profits of private and foreign-funded enterprises narrowed, and the profit growth of small and medium-sized enterprises accelerated.
Senior statistician Zhu Hong from the National Bureau of Statistics' Industrial Department stated that the next step should be to promote a number of policies and measures to stabilise the economy and maintain the momentum of the industrial economic recovery.
Translator's View - Despite the rebound, the economy faces challenges on multiple fronts at home and abroad. China's zero-COVID strategy and strife in its crucial property sector have exacerbated the external pressure from the Ukraine crisis and a global slowdown due to interest rate hikes to curb red-hot inflation.
