The Yangtze River Delta, which accounts for about 1 / 4 of the country’s GDP, has all its 41 cities’ 2021 transcripts.
First finance found that the year-on-year growth rate of GDP of three provinces and one city in 2021 exceeded 8%; Among the 41 cities, 18 cities ranked among the top 50 cities in China in terms of GDP At the same time, the total output value of manufacturing industry in three provinces and one city shows a steady growth trend, and manufacturing industry is still one of the key tasks this year.
top ten Jiangsu accounts for 6
Among the 41 cities, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Ningbo, Wuxi, Hefei, Nantong, Changzhou and Xuzhou ranked among the top 10 in GDP, and the top 8 cities have entered the GDP trillion club. Shanghai’s GDP exceeded 4 trillion yuan in 2021, with a year-on-year increase of 8.1%.
In the top 10 list, there are 6 cities in Jiangsu Province, 2 in Zhejiang Province and Hefei in Anhui Province. In addition, Changzhou, Xuzhou in Jiangsu and Wenzhou in Zhejiang are also “one step away” from the trillion target, which are 880.8 billion yuan, 881.7 billion yuan and 738.5 billion yuan respectively.
As the leader of the Yangtze River Delta, Shanghai’s GDP reached 4.32 trillion yuan in 2021, an increase of 8.1%. The expected targets of Shanghai this year include the growth of the city’s GDP by about 5.5%, the growth of local general public budget revenue by 6%, and the proportion of the whole society’s R & D expenditure equivalent to the city’s GDP of about 4.2%.
Suzhou, which ranked second, is the “strongest prefecture level city”. Last year, its GDP reached 227183 billion yuan, an increase of 8.7% year-on-year, ranking sixth among cities in China At the same time, Suzhou’s total industrial output value above Designated Size reached 4 trillion yuan for the first time, an increase of 17.2% over the previous year and an average increase of 10.4% in the two years.
Nantong, a city in Central Jiangsu, also maintained its achievements in 2020 and entered the club of trillion GDP in the second year. According to the data, Nantong’s GDP reached 110269 billion yuan in 2021, an increase of 8.9%, 0.8 and 0.3 percentage points higher than that of the whole country and Jiangsu Province respectively, with an average growth of 6.8% in two years, ranking the second in the province. It is worth noting that with the opening of the Shanghai Suzhou railway in 2020, the problem of “no access to the South” in Nantong has been solved, and the North starting point of the Shanghai Suzhou railway has accelerated the connection with Shanghai.
Changzhou, which is closely behind the trillion club, has a GDP of 880.76 billion yuan in 2021, an increase of 9.1%, ranking second in southern Jiangsu “According to the current growth momentum, we will stride into the ‘trillion club’ in 2023.” At the “city wide industrial development conference” held on February 7, Chen Jinhu, Secretary of Changzhou municipal Party committee, said.
The urban economic growth in Anhui Province is slightly uneven. Only Hefei has entered the trillion club, and Wuhu, the second largest city in the province, has a GDP of 430.26 billion yuan. However, the GDP growth rates of Wuhu, Lu’an and Chizhou in Anhui were 11.6%, 11% and 10.2% respectively, ranking in the top three of 41 cities.
Take Wuhu as an example. In 2021, the added value of industries above designated size increased by 14.1% over the previous year, 5.2 percentage points higher than that of the whole province. Among them, the output value of strategic emerging industries increased by 36.4%, and the added value of high-tech industries increased by 21.3%, 7.6 and 5.8 percentage points higher than that of the whole province respectively. The output of industrial Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) , new energy vehicles, optoelectronic devices, lithium-ion batteries and other high-tech products increased by more than 30%.
In the recently launched “counting from the east to the west” project, the National Computing hub node of the Yangtze River Delta has planned the data center cluster of the Yangtze River Delta ecological green integrated development demonstration area and the Wuhu Data Center cluster. Focusing on the two data center clusters, we should pay close attention to optimizing the layout of computing power, actively undertake the real-time computing power needs of central cities in the Yangtze River Delta, guide the migration of warm and cold business to the west, and build a development pattern of “integration, coordination and radiation” of computing power resources in the Yangtze River Delta.
manufacturing industry has a bright growth rate
As the “ballast stone” of the economy, manufacturing industry is very important to promote economic growth and improve the quality of employment. The data show that the total output value of manufacturing industry in three provinces and one city shows a steady growth trend.
In 2021, Shanghai’s industrial added value exceeded 1 trillion yuan for the first time, and the total industrial output value reached 4.2 trillion yuan, exceeding 4 trillion yuan for the first time; The added value of manufacturing industry in Jiangsu Province exceeded 4 trillion yuan, accounting for 35.8% of GDP; The added value of industries above Designated Size in Zhejiang Province exceeded 2 trillion yuan, an increase of 12.9%; The added value of industries above Designated Size in Anhui increased by about 8.9%, and the output value of strategic emerging industries increased by about 28.8%.
This year, three provinces and one city still regard manufacturing as one of the key tasks.
In 2022, Shanghai will further implement the manufacturing innovation center project, promote the first set of equipment, the first version of software and other innovative achievements to be tested and used first, and actively cultivate Shenzhen New Industries Biomedical Engineering Co.Ltd(300832) , new business forms and new models.
Zhejiang proposes to accelerate the improvement of the core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry. Reshape the high-quality development policy system of the manufacturing industry, integrate the stock capital of 9.9 billion yuan at the provincial level, add 2 billion yuan, focus on promoting a new round of key actions of “cage for bird, Phoenix Nirvana” in the manufacturing industry, and strive to increase the industrial added value above the designated level by more than 6%.
Jiangsu has made intelligent transformation and digital transformation as an important starting point this year. We will strive to build a new high level of digital economy innovation and development through cultivating intelligent demonstration plants and “Internet plus advanced manufacturing”.
Anhui also said that it will implement the action plan of “improving quality, expanding quantity and increasing efficiency” of secondary industry to enhance the core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry. In accordance with the “4116” goal, we will promote the four advantageous industries of new generation information technology, automobile and parts, equipment manufacturing and new materials to move forward to the trillion level, accelerate the construction of 10 billion plus industries such as smart appliances, energy conservation and environmental protection and biomedicine, establish a target cultivation library for 10 billion plus enterprises and 60 billion plus enterprises, and carry out breeding with “one enterprise and one policy”.
As the region with the most active economic development in China, the most important mission of the Yangtze River Delta is to be the pioneer of scientific, technological and industrial innovation. The national 14th five year plan proposes to aim at the international advanced scientific and technological innovation capacity and industrial system, accelerate the construction of the G60 scientific and technological innovation corridor in the Yangtze River Delta and the industrial innovation belt along Shanghai Nanjing, and improve the ability of the Yangtze River Delta to allocate global resources and radiate and drive national development.
The recent results of the research group of the Yangtze River Delta Regional Collaborative Innovation Index 2021 show that in the past decade, the relative agglomeration degree of the manufacturing industry in the three provinces and one city of the Yangtze River Delta in some fields is relatively close, and its industrial division of labor is highly similar; However, in general, the industrial division of labor in three provinces and one city has certain differences in the focus areas.
“In recent years, the differences of manufacturing division among three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta have been gradually optimized. With the continuous deepening of collaborative innovation development in the Yangtze River Delta and the overall rise of the industrial chain to high added value, the pattern of innovation driven development in the Yangtze River Delta has basically taken shape.” Dr. Zhang Mizhi, deputy director of the statistical evaluation research office of Shanghai Institute of science, suggested that the Yangtze River Delta should speed up the cultivation and layout of a number of future industries. At the same time, accelerate the transfer of general manufacturing industry and form an orderly industrial layout in the Yangtze River Delta. Continuously optimize regional industrial policies and promote all localities to form a policy support system for misplaced development around their own industrial advantages. Gradually form a coordinated development pattern of innovation chain, industrial chain, capital chain and talent chain.
All localities have also issued policy documents around the manufacturing industry.
In 2022, the “No. 1 document” of Suzhou municipal Party committee and Suzhou Municipal Government – the guiding opinions of Suzhou on promoting the development of industrial innovation clusters in the digital economy era made it clear that during the “14th five year plan” period, Suzhou will dynamically invest more than 100 billion yuan of special funds to support the development of industrial innovation clusters in the digital economy era.
The city’s industrial development conference held in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province on February 7 stressed the need to accelerate the construction of the industrial axis of the Yangtze River Delta and strive to build an international smart manufacturing city. Data show that among the 41 major categories of national industry, Changzhou has 33; Among the 207 categories, there are 189 in Changzhou; Among the 666 sub categories, there are 598 in Changzhou. In 2021, the total industrial scale of Changzhou exceeded 1.68 trillion yuan, and the added value of industries above designated size increased by 13.6%.
According to the implementation opinions on promoting high-quality industrial development and several policies on promoting high-quality industrial development issued by Changzhou. It is clear that by 2025, the total industrial scale of Changzhou will exceed 2.5 trillion yuan, the proportion of manufacturing added value in GDP will be stable at about 43%, and the output value of high-tech industries will account for 50% of the total industrial output value above the standard.
