In Q1 2022, the newly signed contract amount of the company’s infrastructure construction business increased by 94.1% year-on-year, about 6 times the average year-on-year growth rate of the business in the past two years.

Superimposed on the low base of newly signed contract amount of infrastructure construction in the same period of last year (21q1 increased by – 7.3%). Among them, the year-on-year growth rate of highway business, municipal and other businesses (including housing construction business) is about 12 times and 6 times of the average year-on-year growth rate of each quarter in the past two years.
