Zhu Hong, a senior statistician from the Department of Industry of the National Bureau of Statistics, interpreted the profit data of industrial enterprises and said that overall, the profitability of industrial enterprises in the first four months of January to April remained stable and recovered quickly. However, it must be noted that the foreign epidemic and the international environment are complicated, the foundation for the stable recovery of the industrial economy is not yet solid, and the improvement of corporate efficiency is still uneven, especially the profitability of some consumer goods industries has not yet returned to the level before the epidemic; in addition, the prices of bulk commodities are high. Operation, increase the pressure on production and operation of the middle and downstream industries.
In the next stage, in accordance with the decision and deployment of the Party Central Committee, we must implement macroeconomic policies scientifically and accurately, do a solid job in ensuring the supply and price stability of bulk commodities, continuously consolidate the foundation for economic stability and recovery, and promote the sustained and healthy development of the industrial economy.
