This morning, reporters from the Municipal Government Information Office held a news conference to learn that, affected by the global economic slowdown and domestic macroeconomic regulation and control, in the first quarter of this year, the GDP of the city achieved 37 billion 331 million yuan, increased by 12.5% at comparable prices, but the growth rate has dropped somewhat, but it has maintained a steady and relatively fast growth.

The coordinated development of the three major industries has promoted the economic development of our city, increasing social wealth, employment opportunities and residents' income.

More enjoyment of consumption

In the first quarter of this year, urban consumer prices rose by 7% over the same period last year, which has increased the living expenses of many people. However, this has not affected the public's pursuit of enjoying life. The key reason is that the income of the citizens has increased synchronously.

According to statistics, in the first quarter, the per capita disposable income of urban residents in the city was 7530 yuan, an increase of 9.4%, while consumption expenditure was 3866 yuan, an increase of 16.1%.

According to the statistical analysis, the consumption expenditure of the public is more inclined to enjoy the consumption of the means of subsistence.

Data show that in the first quarter, expenditure on entertainment, education and cultural services increased by 54.2%, medical and health expenditure increased by 22.8%, pportation and communications spending increased by 19.4%, household equipment and services increased by 15.3%, much higher than the 10.5% increase in food expenditure.

Analysts pointed out that with the increase of the public's income, mobile phones and computers are already ordinary consumer goods, even private cars are no longer a luxury for the public.

In fact, the proportion of the consumption of consumer goods, such as automobiles, home appliances, entertainment and education, has increased, and the proportion of food consumption expenditure has been reduced. This shows that the daily life of citizens is in a state of affluence.

People's lives are more secure.

The happiness of citizens is directly related to the level of social security and the development of social welfare. The public finance has increased investment in public services and services such as education, health care, health care, and so on.

In the first quarter, the expenditure on public services and people's livelihood at all levels of the city continued to increase, and the city's budgetary expenditure was as high as 2 billion 334 million yuan, an increase of 29.4%, much higher than that of the same period last year.

The expenditure on education, health care and urban and rural community affairs has increased rapidly, increasing by 22.5%, 22.7% and 26.6% respectively, and the people's livelihood index has been greatly improved.

New progress has also been made in the employment and social security system.

According to statistics, the number of new employment in urban units increased by 17 thousand and 200 in the first quarter, an increase of 6.3%; the number of households living in urban and rural areas enjoying the minimum living allowance reached 20 thousand and 200, an increase of 3.6%, and the number of 37 thousand and 900 people guaranteed.

The per capita income of urban subsistence allowances was raised from 459.25 yuan to 507.26 yuan last year, from 252.97 yuan to 319.82 yuan in rural areas, and 13 million 640 thousand yuan in urban and rural areas, with a minimum growth of 20.5% in urban and rural areas.

Traditional industries face challenges

In the first quarter, the total industrial output value of the above scale industry was 77 billion 517 million yuan, the current price increased by 21.5%, and the total profits of Industrial Enterprises above Designated Size amounted to 2 billion 994 million yuan, an increase of 39.6%.

Under the influence of the changes in the external economic environment and the tightening of domestic macro-control, it is not easy for industrial enterprises in our city to achieve such economic benefits, but the development of traditional industrial enterprises has slowed down significantly.

Data show that in the first quarter of this year, the total output value of the textile industry was 11 billion 326 million yuan, an increase of 12.9%, the growth rate dropped 8.2 percentage points, the total output value of garment industry was 4 billion 439 million yuan, an increase of 9.8%, and the growth rate dropped 14.3 percentage points, while the gross output value of leather industry decreased by 4 billion 610 million yuan, down 2.9%, and the growth rate dropped by 24 percentage points.

Statistical analysts pointed out that textile, clothing, leather and other traditional industries are mainly foreign trade enterprises. The export market is dominated by Europe and the United States, and the degree of dependence on foreign trade is very high. The subprime mortgage crisis that broke out in the US last year slowed down the economic growth in developed countries and weakened consumption demand in the market, which directly reduced the overseas market of these enterprises, resulting in a decline in output value. While domestic raw materials and labor prices continued to rise, the RMB continued to appreciate, which further reduced the profits of enterprises. The traditional industries were faced with unprecedented challenges, and structural pformation was imperative.
