It covers various indicators such as GDP and its growth rate, general public budget revenue, fiscal self - sufficiency rate, government - funded revenue, central transfer payments to local governments, comprehensive financial resources, local government debt balance, interest - bearing debt balance of bond - issuing urban investment companies, regional broad - sense debt balance, and regional broad - sense debt ratio [1][8]. 3.2 Changes in National Economic, Fiscal, and Debt Conditions in 2024 3.2.1 Economic Aspect - China's economic aggregate was close to 135 trillion yuan, with the tertiary industry accounting for 56.7% of GDP, reaching a historical high and providing significant support to the economy. The GDP was 134.91 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 5%. The proportion of the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries in GDP was 6.8%, 36.5%, and 56.7% respectively, with the primary and secondary industries decreasing by 0.3 and 1.8 percentage points year - on - year, and the tertiary industry increasing by 2.1 percentage points [2][9]. 3.2.2 Fiscal Aspect - China's local government's comprehensive financial resources decreased by 3.3% year - on - year to 27.7 trillion yuan. The general public budget revenue was 11.93 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 1.7%, but with limited growth in the first three quarters due to factors such as insufficient domestic demand, falling price indices, and the carry - over effect of tax cuts. The government - funded revenue was 5.74 trillion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 13.5%, mainly due to the continued decline in land transfer revenue. The central transfer payments to local governments were 10.04 trillion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 2.4% [2][13]. 3.2.3 Debt Aspect - In 2024, 2 trillion yuan of replacement bonds and 800 billion yuan of new special bonds were issued for debt resolution.

Tibet had the highest growth rate of 6.3%, while Shanxi's GDP growth rate was only 2.3% due to the continuous decline in energy prices [3][20]. 3.3.2 Fiscal Aspect - The comprehensive financial resources of 22 provinces increased, while those of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Guangdong decreased significantly due to the drag of government - funded revenue. In terms of general public budget revenue, 5 provinces (Qinghai, Henan, Guangdong, Shaanxi, and Hainan) decreased year - on - year, mainly due to factors such as insufficient domestic demand and falling price indices. 26 provinces had an increase, and Tibet, Jilin, and Xinjiang had a year - on - year growth rate of over 10%. In terms of government - funded revenue, 21 provinces decreased year - on - year, with Hunan's government - funded revenue decreasing by 32% due to a significant decline in land transfer revenue. Tianjin, Yunnan, Hubei, and Heilongjiang saw a year - on - year increase of over 10% due to a slight recovery in the land market. In terms of central transfer payments to local governments, 6 provinces (Guangdong, Jiangsu, Beijing, Jilin, Tianjin, and Shanghai) decreased slightly year - on - year [4][24]. 3.3.3 Debt Aspect - Among the 31 provinces, only Tianjin's broad - sense debt balance decreased year - on - year, and 25 provinces' broad - sense debt ratios increased year - on - year, with Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Guangdong being more prominent. Tianjin achieved remarkable results in urban investment debt resolution. In terms of local government debt balance, all provinces had an increase, with Tibet having an 80% year - on - year increase due to a low base, and 25 provinces having a year - on - year growth rate of over 10%, mainly due to the high issuance of replacement bonds in 2024.

The PPI of export - oriented industries improved marginally, and the price of PPI durable consumer goods manufacturing industry rebounded [1][9]. - In terms of CPI, food performed better than the seasonal level, but the upward momentum of core consumer goods prices continued to weaken. Attention should be paid to the launch of a new round of consumption - promotion policies [2][13]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 May Price Trend: Potential Changes Behind the "Unchanged" Trend - **PPI**: The month - on - month decline in May remained at - 0.4%.

Core consumer goods have dragged down CPI for two consecutive months after excluding the impact of gold prices, and a new round of consumption - promotion policies may be launched [2][13]. 3.2 May CPI: Food and Tourism Perform Better than Seasonal Levels, but Month - on - Month Decline Continues Due to Oil Price Drag - **Overall Situation**: In May 2025, the listing of fresh vegetables supported the food item, tourism in non - food items performed better than the seasonal level. However, affected by oil prices, durable consumer goods, and rent, CPI declined month - on - month to - 0.2% and remained at - 0.1% year - on - year. The factors affecting CPI month - on - month change from high to low were: services (0)> livestock meat (- 0.01pct)> fresh produce (- 0.03pct)> core consumer goods (- 0.03pct)> energy (- 0.13pct) [2][16]. - **Food Item**: The month - on - month decline of the food item fell back to around - 0.2%, stronger than the seasonal level, affecting CPI to decline by about 0.04 percentage points. Beef prices rose due to reduced imports, while pork prices fell.

Oil prices dropped, clothing was the main supporting item in core consumer goods, while furniture and car prices still had a drag. Travel - related prices in services were resilient, but rent was still weak [23][24][25]. 3.3 May PPI: Oil Price Drag Increases, Price Decline of Export Industries Narrows, and Month - on - Month Decline Remains at - 0.4% - **Overall Situation**: The month - on - month decline of PPI remained around - 0.4%, mainly dragged down by production materials, while the performance of living materials improved. In May, production material prices decreased by 0.6% (- 0.1pct), and the prices of living materials turned from negative to flat [30]. - **By Industry**: The number of industries with price declines among industrial producers was still around two - thirds. The drag factors were the crude oil industry chain, building - material - related prices, and energy prices such as coal and gas. The supporting factors were export - related industries such as automobiles and machinery, and the non - ferrous metal industry [4][31][36].
