Sun Xiao, Statistician of the Industry Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, said when interpreting the profit data of industrial enterprises, in general, the profit of industrial enterprises continued to recover, but it should also be noted that the external environment has become more complex and severe, domestic demand is still insufficient, which restricts the further recovery of enterprise profits, and the foundation for the recovery of industrial enterprise profits is still not solid. In the next stage, we should implement various policies and measures to promote the sustained recovery of the economy, focus on expanding Effective demand, improve the level of production and marketing convergence, deeply implement the innovation driven development strategy, constantly enhance the momentum of development, and promote the sustained consolidation and recovery of the industrial economy.
