Core Viewpoint - Achieving a 5% GDP growth target for the year is not difficult, but the challenge lies in bridging the gap between micro perceptions and macro statistics, with a growth that is felt by micro entities being more meaningful in the long term [1][4]. Group 1: Economic Growth Performance - In the first three quarters of 2025, GDP grew by 5.2%, accelerating by 0.2 and 0.4 percentage points compared to the previous year and the same period last year, respectively [2]. - The contribution rate of final consumption expenditure to economic growth reached 53.5% in the first three quarters, driving GDP growth by 2.8 percentage points, which is a 9% increase compared to the previous year [4]. - The contribution rate of final consumption expenditure in the third quarter was 56.6%, further highlighting its role in economic growth [4]. Group 2: Challenges in Consumption Growth - Despite being the main driver of economic growth, consumption faces challenges, including a decline in the growth rate of social retail sales, which fell to 3.0% in September [9]. - The overall low growth of CPI indicates that consumer prices are not rising significantly, which may affect consumption [9]. - Factors contributing to insufficient consumption include a prolonged adjustment in the real estate market, increased employment pressure, and intensified competition leading to price reductions [10][11]. Group 3: Policy Measures and Future Outlook - The government has prioritized boosting consumption and investment efficiency, with a focus on expanding domestic demand as a key task for 2025 [5]. - A series of macroeconomic policies are expected to be implemented to stimulate consumption, including measures to promote income growth and stabilize the real estate market [12]. - Experts predict that achieving the annual GDP growth target of around 5% is likely, with the fourth quarter GDP growth expected to stabilize within a reasonable range [15][16].
