In 2021, in the face of multiple tests such as the complicated and severe international environment and the spread of domestic epidemics, all localities and departments adhered to the general tone of striving for progress while maintaining stability, strengthened the cross-cycle adjustment of macro policies, and the national economy continued to recover and develop; Grain output reached a new high, and animal husbandry production grew steadily; Industrial production continued to develop, and high-tech manufacturing and equipment manufacturing industries grew rapidly; The energy supply has achieved remarkable results and the energy structure has been continuously optimized; The modern service industry is growing well.

　　Sustained and stable recovery of the national economy

　　Zhao Tonglu, Director of National Economic Accounting Department of National Bureau of Statistics

　　In 2021, all localities and departments conscientiously implemented the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, scientifically coordinated epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, China’s national economy sustained and stable recovery, high-quality development achieved new results, and the "14 th Five-Year Plan" achieved a good start.

　　First, the economy showed a steady recovery trend.

　　In 2021, China’s gross domestic product (hereinafter referred to as GDP) was 114,367 billion yuan, an increase of 8.1% over the previous year at constant prices, and the expected economic development target of more than 6% for the whole year was achieved, with an average growth rate of 5.1% for two years. Among them, the added value of the primary industry was 8,308.6 billion yuan, an increase of 7.1%, driving economic growth by 0.5 percentage points; The added value of the secondary industry was 45,090.4 billion yuan, an increase of 8.2%, driving economic growth by 3.1 percentage points; The added value of the tertiary industry was 60,968 billion yuan, an increase of 8.2%, driving economic growth by 4.5 percentage points. The added value of the three industries accounted for 7.3%, 39.4% and 53.3% of GDP respectively.

　　Second, agriculture grew rapidly and the industrial service industry continued to recover.

　　In 2021, the grain output reached a new high, and animal husbandry production grew steadily. The added value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery increased by 7.1% over the previous year, driving economic growth by 0.6 percentage points, of which the added value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery increased by 3.8 percentage points, with a contribution rate of 53.9%. Industrial production continued to recover, and the industrial added value increased by 9.6% over the previous year, driving economic growth by 3.0 percentage points.

　　With the in-depth implementation of the supply-side structural reform and innovation-driven development strategy, in 2021, the investment in high-tech manufacturing industry increased by 22.2% over the previous year, which was 17.3 percentage points higher than the national fixed asset investment growth rate. The competitiveness of the manufacturing industry has been further improved. The added value of high-tech manufacturing industries above designated size increased by 18.2% over the previous year, which was significantly higher than the growth rate of all industries above designated size. The consumption structure of residents has been further improved, and the per capita consumption expenditure of residents nationwide has increased by 13.6% over the previous year. Per capita expenditure on education, culture and entertainment and per capita expenditure on health care increased by 27.9% and 14.8% respectively over the previous year.

　　Agricultural production is generally stable and progressing.
