In the first three quarters, investment in Sichuan's aviation, spacecraft and equipment manufacturing sector rose by 140% year on year, while investment in electronic communication equipment manufacturing grew by 36.7%.
Since the beginning of this year, the province has focused on high-quality development, prioritized major projects, improved regular progress review mechanisms, and accelerated project construction through the "Six Batches" initiative, leveraging significant projects to sustain steady economic growth and enhance both volume and quality. Yang Zhigang, Deputy Director and Spokesperson of the Sichuan Provincial Bureau of Statistics, noted that fixed-asset investment (excluding rural households) in the province fell by 2.6% year on year in the first three quarters, a decline narrower than the national average, exhibiting the following key characteristics:
The role of manufacturing investment as a "ballast" continues to be prominent.
New growth drivers from high-tech industry investment are steadily accumulating.
The internal momentum of technological transformation investment continues to be unleashed.
The solid support provided by equipment acquisition investment has been further consolidated.
Regarding private investment, due to a complex and severe external environment, weakening market demand, and increasingly cautious decision-making by market entities, private investment in Sichuan remains in negative territory. Yang Zhigang stated that the province is currently optimizing the business environment and boosting confidence by broadening market access, increasing financial support, and strengthening factor guarantees. Meanwhile, vast opportunities exist in new infrastructure, emerging industries, and human capital investment, indicating continued positive prospects for private investment.
