上海上半年经济稳定增长 - 2019年07月23日

Shanghai’s economy has seen stable growth in the first half, and the city will continue to make improving the quality of growth the priority in the second half, Mayor Ying Yong said during a meeting hosted by the Shanghai People’s Congress on Monday.

“Shanghai has seen stable economic growth in the first half, which was in line with our expectations,” said Ying. “We should recognize positive economic fundamentals and continue to improve the quality of growth.”
Shanghai’s economy expanded 5.9 percent from a year earlier in the first half, 0.2 percentage points faster than in the first quarter. The growth was led by the services sector, which grew 9.1 percent year on year, compared with the 8.8 percent increase in the first quarter. It was also 1.7 percentage points higher than that in the same period last year.
