上海2021年GDP突破4万亿 - 2022年01月21日

Shanghai's economy maintained stable growth in 2021 despite external uncertainties, with annual gross domestic product surpassing the 4-trillion-yuan mark for the first time, according to the city's Report on the Work of the Government released on Thursday.

Over the past year, Shanghai has stuck to promoting high-quality development in line with the new development pattern. It has accomplished the major tasks and goals set out in early 2021, achieving a solid start for the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), Shanghai Mayor Gong Zheng said at the ongoing sixth session of the 15th Shanghai People's Congress.

The city's GDP achieved a robust 8.1 percent growth rate for the full year to reach 4.32 trillion yuan (US$681 billion), marking its first time exceeding 4 trillion yuan and ranking first among all cities in China.
