Group 1: Report Core View - In August, both the production and demand sides of the domestic economy faced pressure, but there were also structural highlights. The production side maintained some growth in high - value - added industries and policy - supported areas, but the overall growth rate declined due to the decline in external demand and production cuts in some industries. The consumption recovery process slowed down, and the demand overdraft effect of automobiles and durable consumer goods gradually emerged, with consumer confidence not effectively restored. The investment growth rate further slowed down, mainly dragged down by real estate and manufacturing investments. There is an increasing need for policy reinforcement, possibly focusing on promoting service consumption and accelerating the implementation of major projects to stimulate domestic demand and boost economic growth [2]. Group 2: August Overall Economic Operation Overview - In August, both supply and demand sides of the domestic economy weakened. The production side maintained some resilience driven by high - value - added industries and policy - supported areas, while the demand side was weak, with a slowdown in consumption recovery and a general decline in investment growth. The real estate industry had a more prominent drag effect. There were obvious differences within the service industry, and some industries related to consumption and business still faced recovery pressure. Overall, weak domestic and external demand and ineffective restoration of consumer confidence were the main constraints on economic recovery [5]. Group 3: Production Side - In August, the industrial added - value increased by 5.2% year - on - year, lower than the previous month and the seasonal level. Industries benefiting from policy support, such as railway transport equipment manufacturing, maintained strong growth. However, external demand pressure was obvious, with the export growth rate dropping from 7.2% in the previous month to 4.4%, and the export delivery value turning negative. Some upstream industries slowed down production expansion due to the "anti - involution" policy and cost pressure. The service production index increased by 5.6% year - on - year, also lower than the previous month. High - value - added industries like information technology and financial services grew rapidly, but the growth rate of the leasing and business service industry slowed down due to external demand uncertainty [6]. Group 4: Consumption Side - In August, the total retail sales of consumer goods increased by 3.4% year - on - year, lower than the previous value. The consumption recovery process was affected by the gradual withdrawal of the "trade - in" subsidy policy, and the growth rate of automobile consumption slowed down. The growth rate of durable consumer goods such as home appliances and furniture also declined, reflecting the gradual emergence of the demand overdraft effect. Catering consumption was relatively strong, with the growth rate rising from the previous month. Overall, consumption was sluggish, income expectations were weak, and consumer confidence was not effectively restored. In terms of consumption structure, the growth rate of essential consumer goods slowed down, while some upgraded consumer goods showed certain growth resilience. Overall consumption power was insufficient, especially in the automobile and real - estate - related consumption fields [11]. Group 5: Investment Side - In August, the year - on - year growth rate of fixed - asset investment was only 0.5%, lower than the previous month. Manufacturing investment was weak, mainly due to insufficient external demand and declining business confidence. Infrastructure investment, although supported by policies to some extent, continued to slow down due to factors such as capital constraints, seasonal construction factors, and project implementation lags. Real - estate investment remained in a slump, with an 12.9% year - on - year decline in August, and its drag effect on overall investment became more prominent. The weakness of manufacturing investment was affected by the "anti - involution" policy and the weakening effect of equipment renewal policies. Infrastructure investment was limited by the lag in capital implementation and extreme weather affecting construction progress. The real - estate market remained in an adjustment period, although policy relaxation in some cities might boost local market confidence [16]. Group 6: Demand - Side Policy - Given the current economic weakness, there is a further need for policy reinforcement. The growth rates of pro - cyclical demands such as exports, total retail sales of consumer goods, and manufacturing investment have declined, creating conditions for policy reinforcement. Policy reinforcement may focus on the demand side, especially promoting service consumption and accelerating the implementation of major projects to stimulate domestic demand recovery. Policy reinforcement may promote terminal demand growth, especially in the service consumption field. The appropriate advancement of major projects can support the investment side. In the manufacturing industry, policy reinforcement should focus on the demand side to drive overall manufacturing growth by promoting the consumption demand of high - value - added industries [23].
