The economy is moving upward, toward newness, and toward excellence. The data in the first three quarters send positive signals.

Today, the State Council Information Office held a press conference, and the National Bureau of Statistics released economic data for the first three quarters of this year. What new changes do the latest economic data reflect? What are the highlights worth noting? To achieve the full-year economic goals, what areas should we focus on in the future?

Economic operation is upward, new and excellent

Wei Qijia, a researcher at the National Information Center of the National Development and Reform Commission: The economic data released show that the macroeconomic operation in the first three quarters has shown a favorable situation of upward, new and excellent conditions.

The upward trend is fully reflected in the fact that very large economies have maintained a reasonable growth rate, and the growth rate ranks among the top among the world's major economies.

Moving towards the new is fully reflected in the continuous conversion of old and new kinetic energy. New kinetic energy plays an increasingly important role in economic growth and supporting the smooth operation of the economy. In particular, many industries that are in line with the development direction of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation have achieved a development trend of both supply and demand, such as equipment manufacturing and high-tech industries. In addition, we must speed up the cultivation of new productive forces. Not only are there traditional advantageous industries, but many emerging industries are also accelerating their growth. New kinetic energy thrives and grows, and new productive forces are formed at an accelerated pace.

Optimization is reflected in structural optimization. For example, in the energy consumption structure, the proportion of new energy in energy consumption is constantly increasing, which has greatly promoted the pace of energy conservation and carbon reduction. The export structure is geared toward high-tech industries and industries that are in line with the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial development.

Lay a solid foundation for achieving the annual economic and social development goals

Under a number of favorable conditions, the development achievements achieved in the first three quarters and the accumulated development foundation have laid a solid foundation for achieving the economic and social development goals for the whole year.

To do a good job in economic work in the fourth quarter, the key is to do a solid job in our own affairs, strive to promote high-quality economic development, and ensure that the economy maintains a reasonable operating growth rate. The key point is to promote the integration and coordination of existing policies and incremental policies, improve the integrated synergy effect, and give full play to the leading role of major engineering projects in the economic cycle. Accelerate the construction of the "six networks" to create more effective investment and physical workload.

At the same time, the results of economic development and the application of new driving forces and new technologies must be better used to promote the improvement of people's livelihood. Promoting the smooth operation of the economy relies on the smooth and continuous conversion of old and new driving forces. In this process, more economic growth points can be formed to ensure that the economic and social development goals for the whole year are achieved.
