The State Council Information Office (SCIO) today held a significant press conference in Beijing to discuss the outcomes of China’s fifth national economic census launched in 2023. Kang Yi, deputy head of the State Council’s Fifth National Economic Census Leading Group and head of the National Bureau of Statistics, met with the press and addressed questions from journalists.
This comprehensive census aims to provide an in-depth understanding of China’s economic landscape, covering various sectors and industries across the Chinese mainland. The data collected will play a crucial role in informing policy decisions, economic planning, and development strategies for the coming years.
During the briefing, Kang Yi highlighted the importance of the census in capturing the dynamic changes within China’s economy. He emphasized how accurate statistical data is essential for the government to implement effective policies that promote sustainable growth and address economic challenges.
The census has mobilized resources nationwide, involving extensive data collection and analysis. It reflects China’s commitment to transparency and precision in economic reporting, which is vital for both domestic stakeholders and international observers interested in the region’s economic trends.
Attendees had the opportunity to engage directly with Kang Yi, posing questions about the methodologies employed in the census and the preliminary findings. While detailed results are yet to be fully disclosed, the briefing provided valuable insights into the scope and scale of the economic activities surveyed.
The fifth national economic census is expected to shed light on new economic drivers, structural adjustments, and the overall health of the Chinese economy. As global markets closely watch China’s economic performance, the information from this census will significantly impact business professionals, investors, and policy analysts worldwide.
The SCIO’s initiative to openly discuss the census underscores China’s efforts to maintain open communication with the global community regarding its economic developments.
