In August, Henan's economy maintained a good recovery momentum with the growth rate of a number of key indicators rising significantly and higher than that of China, said a source from Henan Statistics Bureau on August 19.

昨日，记者从河南省统计局获悉，8月份，全省经济运行总体保持恢复向好态势，部分主要经济指标当月增速明显加快且持续高于全国。

 

The recovery of industrial production accelerated

工业生产加速恢复

 

Aside from the low base of the same period last year, benefiting from preferential policies, Henan saw its added value of the industrial enterprises above designated size rise 7.7 percent year on year in August, 2.6 percentage points faster than July, the highest monthly growth rate since April last year and 3.5 percentage points higher than the national growth rate.

随着各项政策措施逐步显效及同期基数偏低等因素共同作用，8月份，全省规模以上工业增加值同比增长7.7%，比上月加快2.6个百分点，为去年4月份以来的当月增速最高值，高于全国3.5个百分点。

 

Investment in fixed assets maintained rapid growth

固定资产投资保持较快增长

 

Since January, Henan has made great efforts to promote the construction of major projects and expand its investment by giving priority to effective investment. During the January-August period, Henan's fixed-asset investment increased 9.8 percent year on year, 0.3 percentage points lower than the January-July period but 4.0 percentage points higher than the national average, maintaining a rapid growth.

今年以来，全省着力推进重大项目建设，积极扩大有效投资，投资规模持续扩大，1~8月，全省固定资产投资同比增长9.8%，比1~7月微落0.3个百分点，高于全国4.0个百分点，仍延续较快增长态势。

 

Consumption picked up significantly

消费明显提速

 

Due to the low base of the same period last year, Henan's consumption picked up significantly. In August, the total retail sales of consumer goods in Henan reported an increase of 7.9 percent year on year to 196.883 billion yuan, 5.2 percentage points faster than July.

主要受低基数效应影响，全省消费增速明显提升。8月份，全省社会消费品零售总额1968.83亿元，同比增长7.9%，比7月加快5.2个百分点。（中文来源/大河报·豫视频 记者/王新昌 编译/赵汉青 海报/何蒙贺 审校/张军平）
