It emphasizes the divergence in economic performance across different regions and industries, as well as the impact of policy support on various sectors [2][3]. Group 1: Better than Economic Conditions - The productive service industry and equipment manufacturing are performing strongly, with the productive service sector's contribution to GDP rising to approximately 9.3% by the third quarter. In October, the information industry production index grew by 13%, marking eight consecutive months of growth, while the rental and business services sector grew by 8.2% [5][15]. - Equipment manufacturing saw an increase of 8% in value added in October, with significant contributions from the automotive and electronics sectors, which accounted for 42.1% of the growth in large-scale industry [6][15].
